PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

Located in the northeastern part of Sonoma County, Knight's Valley is nestled between the Alexander Valley and Chalk Hill AVAs and is separated from the Napa Valley by the Mayacamas Mountain Range. It is one of the warmest regions in Sonoma, thanks to its landlocked location; however, its relatively high elevation provides the wide diurnal temperature variations necessary for fruit that balances ripeness with acidity. These weather conditions, coupled with the appellation's volcanic, well-drained soils and abundant sunshine, bring forth ultra-rich, ripe, and layered cabernets.

The 2019 Arrowood Cabernet Sauvignon Knight's Valley is a blend of 98% cabernet sauvignon and 2% malbec sourced from the Kellogg Vineyard. The juice was fermented in stainless steel and aged for 24 months in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels. Its aromas of black forest fruits lead to a palate resplendent with flavors of blackberries and cassis laced with notes of cocoa, sage, clove, graphite, and vanilla that unfold layer by glorious layer on the palate.

93 points, Jeb Dunnuck:
"Pouring a deep red, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley includes a small addition of 2% malbec and offers aromas of cassis, roses, leather, and cedar. Full-bodied, with a wonderfully detailed and refined structure, it has fresh acidity, with wild black cherry, and great purity for the entry to the range. I love the freshness and ripe structure this has to offer along with its well-balanced oak spice. Drink 2025-2032."

93 points, James Suckling:
"A single-vineyard wine with aromas of blackberries, mocha, and coffee. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and acidity and notes of blackcurrant compote, chocolate, and dried herbs. Very powerful."
