Arouse Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

Arouse 2024 is a terroir-driven Cabernet Sauvignon from the Knights Valley—a powerful yet composed expression shaped by elevation, volcanic soils, and the rugged beauty of this distinctive appellation.

This vintage is anchored by Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with carefully selected parcels from complementary hillside sites adding dimension, refinement, and structural detail.

A Cabernet Sauvignon of strength and sophistication—bold in character, yet balanced and assured, capturing the essence of this remarkable vineyard landscape.

In the glass, Amuse 2024 reveals a deep, inky garnet hue. The nose is layered and expressive, offering blackcurrant, dark plum, and blackberry, interwoven with notes of graphite, cedar, and a hint of wild herbs.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with a core of rich dark fruit supported by firm, polished tannins. There is both power and precision here—the fruit generous yet controlled, the texture seamless and finely tuned.

The finish is long and persistent, marked by lingering dark fruit, subtle spice, and a mineral thread that speaks clearly of Knights Valley.

Knights Valley is renowned for Cabernet Sauvignon of depth and structure. Warm days ripen the fruit fully, while cool evening air flowing from the nearby mountains preserves balance and aromatic clarity. The volcanic soils lend both intensity and a subtle mineral edge, giving the wine its unmistakable sense of place.

This Cabernet Sauvignon, planted with Clone 337, highlights the unique terroir of the Knights Valley Appellation. Volcanic soils, warm sun-filled days, and cooling evening breezes create the perfect environment for slow, even ripening, allowing the grapes to develop both power and finesse.
