Beringer 2020/21 Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
93 points James Suckling

This is a powerful and concentrated Knights Valley Cab. It’s always terrific value and it just seems to get better every year.

“A full-bodied red with redcurrants, rust and black chocolate aromas and flavors. Savory. Granular soft tannins. Very drinkable.” — James Suckling

This approachable and delicious Cabernet Sauvignon is a generous Bordeaux blend, with soft and silky tannins and a plush, full mouth-feel. Although this wine is built to age and develop further complexity, the generous and juicy upfront fruit makes it extremely enjoyable in its youth.

Aromas of dried herbs, lavender, fresh boysenberry and lanolin join flavours of dark fruit led by figs, black cherry, and currants. The pronounced oak spice notes work well with the more traditional Knights Valley tones of black olive, wild sage and mocha. The wine is well-balanced with good acidity, structured tannins and a superbly elegant finish.

84% Cabernet Sauvignon | 9% Merlot | 6% Cabernet Franc | 1% Petite Verdot

Beringer Vineyards has owned and farmed its Knights Valley vineyards since the mid-1960s when the Beringer family recognized that the cobbled, rocky alluvial soils were a great place to grow high-quality wine grapes. The Knights Valley designation was first used on a Beringer label in 1974. Beringer was instrumental in garnering official recognition for the area in 1983 as a premier wine-growing region with the award of its own American Viticulture Area (AVA) designation.
