Ehret 2005 "The Beginning" Cabernet Sauvignon, Knight's Valley

"Knights Valley, an inland Sonoma County region, is not well known, but is home to some impressive Cabernets.  This one, a first release, shows enormous promise.  It's made in the modern style, slightly soft but richly textured, with ripe currant, cherry, chocolate and new oak flavors that are grounded with an earthy note of olives and herbs.  This is a winery to keep an eye on." - SH, Wine Enthusiast, August 2008

Ehret 2005 "The Beginning" Cabernet Sauvignon, Knight's Valley

THE WINE INSIDERS "OUTSTANDING 94" RATING:
The first thing you notice is its ultra rich and plushy texture, featuring satiny tannins that float across the palate with cocoa powder, blueberry, espresso, dark berries, tobacco, and a hint of cedar. Perfectly balanced it shows great complexity and a seemingly interminable finish that lingers delightfully for a full 30 seconds. Don’t miss this sumptuous new discovery destined for greater fame (and prices!) in vintages to come. Enjoy tonight or anytime over the next 5 years, peaking in 2010 in our estimate. 94 points.
