William Knuttel Allegiance Malbec 2018

Bill Knuttel spent decades perfecting the sought-after wines of some of Sonoma’s top wineries, like Saintsbury and Chalk Hill. But for the past several years, this former president of the California Cabernet Society has been focusing on his own brand—and showing off his deft touch with other rich reds. This barrel-aged Malbec shows he’s still on a roll.

"Sonoma sings of an ideal year,” Decanter wrote about the 2018 vintage and Bill had his pick of premium fruit. In the cellar, he aged the wine for 6 months in French oak barrels. The result? Everything Malbec fans crave…and lots of it.

It displays that inky black color in the glass and delivers intense, rich blueberry and blackberry fruit flavor, balanced by an elegant lift of freshness level. The tannins are smooth and attractive, while the long, sappy finish will leave you impressed with every sip.

Ever the stickler for quality, Bill produced limited cases of this exclusive Sonoma Malbec. So secure your share today—and don’t forget to grab your favorite cut of steak.
