Knights Valley Reserve, 2015 Deep ruby color Nose of plum, currant and oak Prune, blackberries, coffee, and a hint of black licorice on the palate High acidity and smooth tannins. Full-bodied wine with great flavor. This wine captures the essential elements of a solid California Cabernet. Bold, complex, fruit forward, good structure

Nice purple color, slightly translucent, no bricking.
Aromas of sweet tobacco, cherry pie, smoky oak, pencil lead, graphite, and a little bit of forest floor. Very nice.
Palate is creamy in texture showing layered red and black fruits that are a bit too sweet, tobacco, and a just a touch of oak on the finish. There is still decent acidity to balance and tannins that are mostly integrated, a little dry though. Early maturity, drink now - 2025

Very good Napa Cabernet.
Strong dark fruit, nice texture on the palate and maybe not great but a very enjoyable wine.

Cherry, plum, cola flavors are smooth and soft with a medium long finish. A little sweet overall and not complex at at all. Drink now.
