Perfect Season 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon “Estate” Knight’s Valley

This might be one of the very best Cabernets to come from Knight’s Valley (even better than Peter Michael, really!)  The venture is owned by Norma Hunt (wife of the late Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt – who pretty much invented the Super Bowl).  This gorgeous property is well-situated, and when you bring in the Quarterback – Wide Receiver duo of wine (Philippe Melka and Jim Barbour), you can only achieve one thing – SUPER BOWL-like fame with the accompanying quality.

 

Philippe Melka Winemaker notes: “ The 2018 Vintage of Perfect Season represents the best of our estate vineyard.  A beautiful nose of freshly-baked blackberry tart, juicy dark currants, red plums, cherry compote, and warm baking spice builds excitement for what’s to come.  On the palate, the wine is full and broad and includes touches of dusty cocoa, graphite, and dried lavender.  The finish is long and lingering and dominated by dark fruits.”
