The 2022 also has 85% Cabernet at its core, with 57% of the fruit from the Helena Montana Vineyard, 28% from Coyote Hills, 9% Franz Creek, and 6% Stonestreet Estate, to create a blend that’s 100% pure Knights Valley bliss again, bolder, richer, while softer and riper. It needed a touch less new oak, too.

“The winemaker behind the Anakota high-elevation mountain vineyard sites in Knights Valley is no other than Pierre Seillan, the Bordelais guru who makes the fabulous wines of Vérité... I would suggest that these may be, potentially, the longest-lived wines being made in Knights Valley, even exceeding the potential age-worthiness of the Peter Michael Les Pavots cuvées that are made in this microclimate on the Sonoma side, but near the Napa County line.”
