2022 Our Lady of Lourdes, Cabernet Sauvignon

2022 Our Lady of Lourdes: A Testament to Faith and Terroir for the Holiday Season
The 2022 Our Lady of Lourdes is a striking new release from Knights Valley, sourced from the esteemed Pelkan Ranch Vineyard—the same site that provides the fruit for our Cabernet FRANCis. This vintage delivers depth, elegance, and unmistakable vineyard character, making it an exceptional choice for holiday celebrations and meaningful seasonal gatherings. With its vibrant structure and refined power, it brings a sense of connection and occasion to every festive table.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, the 2022 vintage opens with layered aromatics of black currant, ripe plum, and violet. The palate reveals concentrated blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate, supported by nuanced notes of tobacco leaf, lavender, and warm spice. Fine-grained tannins and energetic acidity provide backbone and lift, while the plush texture and long, polished finish offer a luxurious and balanced experience. Beautifully expressive now, it will continue to mature with grace.

Holiday Pairing Suggestions
This Cabernet-based wine pairs seamlessly with the rich flavors of the season. It shines alongside herb-crusted prime rib, braised short ribs, roast lamb, or holiday turkey with savory stuffing. For vegetarian pairings, consider wild mushroom risotto, roasted root vegetables, or a sweet potato and gruyère gratin. It also enhances a festive cheese board with aged Gouda, blue cheese, and fig compote. Whether poured at a holiday feast or savored by the fire, this wine brings depth, warmth, and elegance to every celebration.
