"The 2013 Proprietary Red CuvĂ©e Julia has a more opaque color than the Merlot or Cabernet Franc. It looks like pen ink and offers up a big, thick, juicy nose of charcoal, graphite, blackberry and cassis with thick, unctuously textured, full-bodied flavors, and a super-rich, long finish. One of the smallest cuvĂ©es at 203 cases, it is a stunner â and another great example of Knights Valley. Give it 4-5 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 25-30 years. Delectus must be one of the last to bottle their wines, as all of these were bottled toward the end of December 2015. They are all relatively small production cuvĂ©es, ranging from a high of 527 cases for the French Wedding Cabernet Sauvignon, 427 cases for the Boulder Falls to a lowly 176 cases for the Cabernet Franc."

California's flagship appellation for opulent, structured Cabernet Sauvignon of ripe fruit, plush tannins and cellar-worthy depth.
