Cyrus
Alexander Valley · Vintage Year 1998
A full mouth of fruit that is sweet, round and complex which is supported by nice acidity and supple ripe tannins, this Cabernet Sauvignon highlights Knights Valley's characteristically bright cherry fruit and sweet vanilla oak and pie spice aromas.

Wine Maker's Comments
Cyrus is our limited production, handcrafted, proprietary red wine from the Wetzel Family Estate. Displaying rich, concentrated fruit, spicy oak, a velvety mouth feel and a lasting finish, the 1998 Cyrus is a testament to ourestate grown grapes and fine winemaking. This wine displays intense aromas of black cherry, plum, cassis and chocolate. Firm tannins and a long finish balance the full mouth feel.
