2022 Our Lady of Lourdes, Cabernet Sauvignon
2022 Our Lady of Lourdes, A Testament to Faith and Terroir for Winter
The 2022 Our Lady of Lourdes is a striking release from Knights Valley, sourced from the esteemed Pelkan Ranch Vineyard—the same site that provides fruit for our Cabernet FRANCis. This expressive vintage delivers depth, elegance, and unmistakable vineyard character, making it a beautiful choice for winter evenings and meaningful moments shared around the table. With its vibrant structure and refined power, it brings warmth and quiet sophistication to the season, whether enjoyed during intimate dinners or reflective fireside gatherings.
Deep ruby in the glass, the 2022 vintage opens with layered aromatics of black currant, ripe plum, and violet. On the palate, concentrated flavors of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate unfold, complemented by nuanced notes of tobacco leaf, lavender, and warm spice. Fine-grained tannins and energetic acidity provide structure and lift, while the plush texture and long, polished finish create a luxurious yet balanced experience. Expressive and compelling now, this wine also promises graceful evolution with time.
This Cabernet-based wine pairs beautifully with winter’s comforting and refined cuisine. Enjoy it alongside herb-crusted prime rib, braised short ribs, roasted lamb, or slow-roasted poultry with savory accompaniments. Vegetarian pairings shine with wild mushroom risotto, roasted root vegetables, or a sweet potato and Gruyère gratin. A thoughtfully curated cheese board featuring aged Gouda, blue cheese, and fig compote further highlights the wine’s depth and elegance, making it a natural companion for winter dining.
