A couple of years ago Beringer sold off their national brand lines to focus on the wines that made them famous to begin with. The Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was the first single vineyard wine to make the portfolio back when Nestle purchased the winery with an intent to make “wines of distinction.” It has been consistently delicious over the years, and this Reserve bottling continues the line, showing richness, structure, weight and full-throttle Cabernet aromas and flavors. It is 100% varietal in 2018, showing that sometimes no help is needed for Cabernet Sauvignon when it comes to this site. It is a solid value from what’s looking to be a long lived vintage – stock up!
