Knights Valley

The 2022 Point Rouge is mainly Belle Cote with a little Ma Belle-Fille and La Carriere. Wow! It erupts from the glass with powerful scents of honeysuckle, green guava, juicy pears, and apple butter followed by nuances of candied ginger, honey-drizzled toast, and nutmeg with a waft of marzipan. The medium to full-bodied palate is an exercise in grace, delivering wonderfully poised orchard fruit and baking spice layers with just enough freshness and a super-silky texture, finishing with epic length. 227 cases were made.

The 2021 Point Rouge requires a fair bit of shaking to wake up the nose of lemon meringue pie, juicy peaches, Bosc pears, and apple tart, followed by nuances of shaved ginger, brioche, clover honey, and chalk dust. The medium to full-bodied palate is densely laden with a millefeuille of mineral, toasty, apple, and mineral layers, lifted by a refreshing line, finishing with a lingering firework display. This is magnificent!
