Anakota Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 750ml

Anakota is Pierre Seillan’s Cabernet project in Knights Valley, the wild corner of Sonoma pressed against Mount St. Helena. He is the same French vigneron behind Vérité, working volcanic slopes between 700 and 950 feet surrounded by fir forest and cold mountain streams. This is the Knights Valley bottling, the estate blend rather than the single-vineyard Helenas: 2021 carries 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, aged 12 months in 30% new French oak. Mountain-edge structure without mountain-tannin punishment. A Cabernet for Bordeaux drinkers.
