Product Overview
Winery's Notes
"Our home vineyard and tasting room is located in the historic Sonoma Valley, a swath of land tucked between the Mayacamas and Sonoma Mountain ranges. While we source wines throughout Sonoma County, we have found three specific AVAs where exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon converge: Sonoma, Knights and Alexander Valleys. By sourcing fruit from these three legendary locations, Arrowood wines showcase Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon at its very best.
Knights Valley is one of the most remote AVAs in Sonoma County, bordering Napa Valley to the east and Alexander Valley to the northwest. Protected by ocean influences, this region experiences a moderated climate, offering a longer and later growing season that develop more dark fruit aromatics. Very fine textured soils allow for great drainage even at lower elevations, producing small berries that deliver powerful tannins and densely structured wines.
Our 2022 Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is bold with black forest fruit, fresh plum and anise, nuanced with violet, pine resin, sage, notes of crème brûlée and clove. Densely concentrated and intensely flavorful on the palate with dark fruits such as black berry, graphite and cocoa nibs."
