In 2006, several close-knit Bailey family members discovered 50 acres of hillside vineyards in Knights Valley, the perfect spot to produce exceptional Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Knights Bridge vineyard is nestled on the pristine west side of Knights Valley, the warmest appellation in Sonoma County. It was here that the family decided to create Knights Bridge Winery with the singular goal of producing world-class wines. United in their quest for excellence, their deep respect for nature and their abiding love of wine and food.
This classically styled Cabernet unfolds slowly and will age gracefully. Slow fermentation followed by 22 months in 85% new French oak and a further 15 months in bottle makes for an intense, complex and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. It has dark, condensed aromas of red plum, black cherry, dusty cocoa, and vanilla abound on the nose. On the palate, berry, cola, raspberry, and fig join in a tight middle core and a persistent finish. Vibrant now, this wine will develop and improve for many years to come.
