Tasting Notes: The Knights Valley has always produced a classic, velvety varietaly correct Cabernet Franc for Adobe Road, and this was achieved again for this vintage. True to form, this well balanced wine is loaded with earth tones and bright cranberry on the nose. The cigar box base with nutmeg tendencies will echo on the palate.
