Winemaker William “Bill” Knuttel earned recognition and respect while working for two iconic California wineries: Saintsbury in Napa Valley and Chalk Hill in Sonoma. Nowadays, he crafts his own (equally delicious) wines, and you’re in for a real treat with his gold-medal-winning Lost Isle Cabernet Sauvignon 2022.

Bill crafted it with grapes grown at Wilson Vineyards in Clarksburg, which he’s worked closely with for over two decades. He chose Cabernet Sauvignon from his favorite old vines, that produce grapes with exceptionally concentrated flavors. The fog and cool breezes that roll in from the San Francisco Bay helped to moderate the particularly temperate 2022 vintage, leading to an ideal balance of ripeness and freshness. (Given all that, it’s no wonder that some Napa winemakers add Clarksburg grapes to their wines for a bolder, richer finish.)

Lost Isle was aged for 14 months in fine French oak barrels and bottled delicately, without the need for fining. In the glass, look forward to expressive aromas of ripe plum and black cherry, melded with hints of baking spices. The dark-fruit flavors are accented beautifully on the palate, with velvety tannins and an appetizing freshness that makes this well-balanced Cabernet an endlessly versatile pairing for your favorite grilled meats, vegetables and firm cheeses.
