Tasting Ehret Cabernet Sauvignon

... so you can imagine how surprised I was when a business colleague gave me a bottle of Ehret Family Winery 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa's Knight's Valley upon hearing I was a wine person.
This is a delicious wine with exotic spice, black berries, plums, coffee, and a never-ending finish. Knights Valley is a tiny AVA, known for its volcanic, well-drained soils. Care was taken in the winery, with the fermentation skin contact lasting 21 days before the wine was aged in 100% French Oak barrels (70% new) for 20 months.
I am hearing more and more about this region, and will make an appointment to visit the next time I am in Napa. The winemaker is Nick Goldschmidt, who had worked with many world class wineries such as Atlas Peak. Maybe he'll give me a personal tour ...
