Beringer Knights Valley Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Royally rich in purple hues, this highly concentrated, intensely flavored wine offers rich and deep, dark fruits with blueberries, black cherries, blackberry, and cherry jam, accented with dark chocolate, herbs, and cassis. Full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins and distinctive oak notes, finishing with mineral accents and a lively lift.

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 and Beringer was instrumental in garnering official recognition for the area in 1983 as an American Viticulture Area (AVA) designation.
