2001 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley
UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA / SONOMA
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 87
($26; 100% cabernet sauvignon) Good deep red. Aromas of plum, currant and mocha. Fat, sweet and low-toned, with plum and mocha flavors. The tannins reach the front teeth. Not bad, but could use more verve.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: May/June 2005Wine Advocate | Rating: 90
The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Knight's Valley reveals soft, round, chocolaty, cedary, herbal notes intermixed with copious quantities of black fruits. Winemaker Ed Sbragia and his assistant, Laurie Hook, told me that only 30% new oak was used in the wine's upbringing. It is a complex, rich, sexy, full-throttle Cabernet Sauvignon that should continue to drink beautifully for another 4-5 years given its impeccable balance.Author: Robert Parker
