This is one of our new favorite Cabs. Purchased at Costco for about $15.00. Excellent value.
Pleasant all the way around.
Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County, California
ratings pedigree (past vintages):
Winemaker’s notes: Number 77 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007! “Knights Valley is a very special place for us at Beringer. As you drive over the mountain from St. Helena, the valley opens up before your eyes and you immediately feel transported to another time, where things are slower and more rustic. This wine captures that place with great intensity of black fruit aromas and flavors that continue to a long satisfying finish.”
—Laurie Hook, Winemaker To maintain the unique characteristics of the different lots from varying areas of the vineyard, Laurie kept them all separate through vinification and aging. Extended maceration extracted a maximum of color, aromas and flavors. The wines were then aged in small French Nevers oak barrels (30% new) for sixteen months. After aging, Laurie blended the lots of Cabernet Sauvignon to highlight Knights Valley’s characteristically bright black cherry fruit. The wine also has toasty oak, vanilla, cedar and smoky aromas accented by a pretty background of pink peppercorn, cocoa and mint. Small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petite Sirah were added for additional complexity. A full mouth of sweet, zesty and rich black fruit is supported by nice bright acidity and ripe tannins.

Hello, My name is Mark Rogne and I am the food and beverage manager at Fianna Hills Country Club in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I have just added your Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet 2005 to my wine list. My wine list is made with labels and I was wondering if you would be kind enough to send me a few labels so that I can display it on my list. I feel that your wine will be a big seller here and I am proud to have it on my wine list

Hi Mark,
I’d be glad to help, although I’ve never tried to remove a label from a bottle of wine. Let me see what I can do. (FYI – My husband is a F&B manager at a club here in Southeast Florida).
