Always a favorite choice for B-21 Cab lovers seeking a great deal, the 94 pt. 2019 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley offers rich dark fruit on a silky, smooth finish from the outstanding 2019 vintage described as "beautifully classic" by Decanter, an incredible value that fans of bold and richly structured California Cabs will want to reach for again and again.
Founded in the late 1800s and counted among northern California's original wineries, Beringer Vineyards has been growing high quality grapes in Knights Valley since the mid-1960s, labeling its first Knights Valley designated wine in the 1970s and leading the effort to gain the region official AVA status in 1983. Nestled between the Mayacamas mountain range and the base of Mount St. Helena in eastern Sonoma, Beringer's 600 acre Knights Valley vineyard is located 17 miles northwest of the winery, planted mostly to Cabernet Sauvignon and smaller amounts of other Bordeaux varietals in a diverse mix of well-drained soils, from rocky alluvial hillsides to volcanic ash and situated in the hills west of Calistoga where warm daytime temps promote even ripening and cool nights preserve the grapes' natural acidity. One of the last harvests overseen by renowned winemaker Mark Beringer, the great-great-grandson of Beringer Vineyards' founding brother Jacob Beringer, the plush 2019 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley was vinified parcel by parcel and aged for 15 months in 30% new French oak, yielding ripe, juicy fruit with well-integrated spiced oak and lively acidity on a velvety smooth finish.
Delivering such bang for the buck that it seems almost unnecessary to sing its praises, Joe Czerwinski sums up the appealing 94 pt. 2019 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley well, calling it "a better wine—and far better value—than many entry-level wines sourced from Napa Valley," a super deal for California Cab lovers that's bargain priced for everyday enjoyment. |
