Here's the scoop with which to impress your fellow dinner party guests: Legendary vigneron Pierre Seillan created Anakota. Of the many wines he makes (which routinely garner 100 point scores), this is his only single vineyard, single variety wine, and it's expressive of Knights Valley's clay-rich terroir. Lush and round, brimming with dark fruit and cocoa flavor, it boasts sturdy tannins with smoke and leather notes on the finish.
