Booming nose of lychee and spicy. Rose water and honey. Light and airy. Slight sweetness but not bad. — 10 years ago

The most obvious trait of this 2009 Knights Bridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is its booming power and complexity. Aromas of black cherry, ripe macerated black raspberry, espresso, spice, and dried lavender bound from the glass and continue to reward through a dense, weighty palate. Plush layers of dusty mocha, dark sweet fruit, and cedar surge through a rich mid-palate and unfurl to an expansive finish. Well-integrated oak, fine-grained tannins and lifting acidity lend excellent structure and balance. Our biggest Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to date, this wine will continue to evolve for a decade or more. — 12 years ago

Booming Red — 11 years ago
This spectacularly dark Cabernet offers a nose of black fruit and a touch of cedar and licorice, followed by an intriguing interplay of condensed plum and raspberry. Booming spice notes and alluring espresso and chocolate provide the background for flirtations of spicebox and mace as the wood, walnut and berry tannins crescendo on the back palate.
This is by far the very best Cabernet Sauvignon produced in Santa Barbara County!! — 10 years ago
Definitely the most interesting Rosé I've had this summer. Pale strawberry red color with red fruits, mineral, crushed rose, blood orange and hints of spice, caramel and earthy aromas. On the palate, it's medium bodied and focused, and intense with a gorgeous texture and wild strawberry, cherry, sweet spice, and mineral flavor. Very good acidity and a lingering finish. It shows a complexity not common in Rosé. 67% saignee Garnacha is blended with 33% Grenache Gris that is macerated on its skins for three days. The wine is fermented in 600 liter barrels on rollers, which are occasionally rolled to gently stir the lees. over a period of eight or so months. — 11 years ago
