Knights Valley, one of Sonoma County's original five AVAs, is nestled between the Mayacamas mountain range and the base of Mt. St. Helena. Close in proximity to Calistoga in Napa, Sonoma's easternmost AVA possesses a combination of valley floor and hillside vineyards. Benefitted by very cool nights that help Chardonnay retain its acidity, Knights Valley produces some of California's most-renowned Chardonnays. Aromas of grapefruit and green apple are accented by notes of orange blossom. Flavors of citrus zest and white peaches are complemented by chamomile, lemongrass and a chalky mineral finish.
