- Fresh raspberry, black cherry, dried bay leaf, vanilla and toasted cardamom are Focused and powerful on the nose, showing ripe red and black currant, dried bouquet garni and a subtle frame of sweet baking spices. The palate is a tour de force of varied fruit and non-fruit flavors wrapped around a powerful core, teeming with firm tannin and juicy acidity.
- 96 Points – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, October 2019
The 2017 growing season was defined by plentiful rain in the winter, followed by mild conditions in spring and summer. To preserve the natural acidity in the grapes, picking began early on September 6th in the Helena, Montana vineyard. The wines were resting in barrels before the Sonoma County Tubbs fire in October and remained unaffected by any smoke taint. The 2017 Helena Montana wine possesses a deep-purple core with soft violet hues. Reminiscent of a young Bordeaux, aromatic flavours of fresh raspberry, black cherry, and dried bay leaf are framed by French oak-derived nuances of toasted cardamom and vanilla. Well-structured and full-bodied, the wine offers brilliant acidity and refined tannins, bringing levity, focus, and balance to the long, elegant finish.

| Winery | Knights Valley is a remote winegrowing region bridging Sonoma and Napa Counties. It’s an untamed landscape defined by rugged mountains, steep hillsides, placid meadows, and abundant wildlife. Even though this AVA has produced some of the world’s greatest wines, it is still a mystery to most. Set along the flanks and foothills of Mount St. Helena and the Mayacamas Mountains, this rustic sanctuary possesses the sparse volcanic soils and cusp maritime climate needed to produce elegant, profound, and age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignons. Running northeast to southwest at 950 feet above sea level, the 60-acre Helena Montana vineyard is marked by rolling hills and steep benches that tilt up to 30 degrees. It features firm, dense, white/yellow gravelly loam soils that drain extremely well. The combination of hills, knolls, and trees helps route cool, westerly winds away from the vines. Helena Montana Cabernets are concentrated and powerful with black fruit flavours, spice, minerals, and muscular tannins. |
