Herzog Knights Valley Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

This Cabernet opens with a deep ruby-garnet hue and unfolds on the nose with lush blackberries and currants layered over fine dark chocolate and subtle forest-floor notes. On the palate the wine is full-bodied yet refined, offering ripe cassis, plum, and a whisper of dried herbs, complemented by smooth, polished tannins and a hint of toasted oak spice that lingers into the finish. With its elegant structure and vibrant fruit clarity, it pairs beautifully with grilled rib-eye, slow-roasted lamb shank, or a robust aged cheddar.
