2021 Vintage Tasted: Aug 2024

Vibrant nose with notes of blackcurrants, cassia bark and cloves. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and bright acidity, showing notes of blackberries, cedar and spices. Drink or hold.

2018 Vintage Tasted: Apr 2022

This wine has strong layers of structure and tannin, bold swathes within an otherwise elegant, restrained style of graceful complexity. Plum, graham cracker, currant and leather combine in dense bolts of concentrated intensity and length. Virginie Boone

2016 Vintage Tasted: Jul 2020

With smooth, rounded edges of dark cherry, black currant and dried herb, this is a well-made and nicely structured wine with a strong tannin profile and integrated use of oak. Robust in clove, black pepper and a pinch of tobacco, it finishes with length. Virginie Boone

About Wine Enthusiast

92 / 100 Gismondi on Wine

2016 Vintage Tasted: May 2020

Arrowood works with three specific Sonoma County AVAs: Sonoma, Knights, and Alexander Valleys. The Knights Valley is one of the most remote AVAs in Sonoma County, bordering Napa Valley to the east and Alexander Valley to the northwest. Free from the influence of the Pacific Ocean, the seasons are longer and warmer, perfect for maturing the late-ripening cabernet sauvignon. In 2016 all the stars aligned in Northern California, spawning some impressive red wines. The Arrowood Knights is a big red with spicy, dense, sweet tannins that saturate the deep black cherry and blackcurrant, flecked with licorice, minerals, and dark chocolate. Rich, dry, and long, there is a sense you can drink this now, at least with a big steak, but I would hold off until at least 2023 before cracking a bottle open. (Anthony Gismondi).

2014 Vintage Tasted: Jul 2019

Made from two vineyards in the appellation, this shows black cherry, cedar and tobacco, with a graphite element not far behind. Sticky tannins provide grip and weight, as full-bodied richly ripe blue fruit and plum form a continuum between hits of clove.

2014 Vintage Tasted: Dec 2018

Knights Valley of Sonoma County has long been known as an excellent site for Cabernet Sauvignon. With good depth and length, this wine supports that region’s reputation. Subtle herbal notes accent its ripe dark fruit focus. Polished tannins mean it’s fine to drink this winter. (Michael Apstein)

2013 Vintage Tasted: Nov 2017

Medium bodied, correctly made, with an oaky, red berry character, that leaves you with crisp, red fruits in the finish. This is ready to go. 89 Points

2013 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2017

A great vintage in northern California didn’t miss Knights Valley, home of the robust, rich, red cabernet. There’s a rush of black fruit and spices here with a mineral undercurrent that neutralizes the jammy fruit and intense clove notes. A tug of grip, otherwise the tannins have been well managed. Definitely a steak wine at the moment, but could easily age five years. (Anthony Gismondi).

2013 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2017

Equal parts Malbec and Merlot add to the whole of this wine, which is thick and extracted in black fruit and firm tannins. With a floral undercurrent and spicy rocky tones, it combines blackberry and currant with a rich addition of caramel.
