Tasting notes
Blended with 4% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec, and 2% Cabernet Franc, the deep ruby-hued 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley offers a solid nose of mulled red and black fruits, smoky oak, vanilla, and baking spices. It has classic Knights Valley structure and savoriness, and it’s medium-bodied, with ripe tannins and outstanding length.

Those of us who purchased vintages of this wine way back when it was $15 may lament the current pricing, but in the context of 2024, Beringer's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley still represents a decent value. The company owns or leases several vineyards in the AVA, so production of this vintage is a considerable 92,000 cases. Ripe cherries are accented by hints of cedar, baking spices and some slightly herbal notes on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is slightly open-knit. It's easy to drink but with enough textural richness to retain interest and pair with grilled beef or lamb.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley is a powerful, dense wine. Ripe red cherry, plum, incense, leather, dried herbs, tobacco, leather and blood orange infuse the 2021 with tons of character. This potent, bold Knights Valley Cabernet offers tons of immediacy and appeal.
