2012 Beringer Knights
Valley Reserve
93 pts -“Delicate aromas of crushed dark berry, wilted rose, cedar and
graphite fold over to the palate, where they are trim and structured.
The firm acidity and tannins are complemented by a hint of freshcrushed
rock.”
– James Laube, WINE SPECTATOR, July 2015
Beringer acquired Knights Valley vineyards in 1961, as the first winery
to recognize the great potential of this region for growing Bordeaux
varietals. Over the last five decades, the Beringer Knights Valley
Cabernet has found many devoted followers.
Winemaker Laurie Hook has worked the Knights Valley vineyards
for two decades, watching the vineyards evolve and noting which
blocks and rows are particularly unique. Using fruit from those prized
blocks, Laurie has crafted the Knights Valley Reserve Cabernet, which
provides the purest and most layered expression of the unique terroir
found in Knights Valley.
