2018 Kiona Cabernet Franc Kiona EstateRed Mountain more |
4/26/2024 - Mallards wrote: 85 pointsWine #20 in our weekly Washington Wine Wednesday series. Nose - violets, vegetal, dark cherries, black pepper. As always a two hour decant. First glass is overpowering with tannins. The tannins hide what appears to be some nice fruit behind it. Second glass opened up to be fruity, earthy and pretty tasty. Purchased to offset a tasting fee. Would do the same again - but likely would not purchase this outright. |

4/6/2024 - djsaunde Does not like this wine: 83 pointsWine was dominated by a strong alcohol note (15.6%!). Otherwise, it was mostly black fruits, baking spice, tannic, and fairly extracted. Maybe I got a bad bottle? |

4/7/2024 - screwtop12 Likes this wine: 89 pointsThis was somewhat of a classic cab sauv. Black fruit including blackberry, black currant, toast, and vanilla. Dry with decent high tannins and some acidity. Medium to long finish. Had it with beef tenderloin with marjoram essence, black cassava and a mushroom medley. |

2021 Kiona LembergerRed Mountain more |
4/7/2024 - screwtop12 Likes this wine: 90 pointsHad this as part of a wine and dinner tasting/pairing. Never had a Lemberger wine before, I want to try more. Pale ruby or garnet but with an intriguing nose. Some cherry and currant that was buttery with possibly a hint of nuttiness. Hard to put your finger (or nose) on. Really drank nicely with some oak and the buttery fruit expressing itself. Had some definite acidity and a pleasant body and finish. I want to try more Lemberger! Paired with asparagus and Fuji apple gazpacho with walnut parsley pistou and crab. |

4/7/2024 - screwtop12 Likes this wine: 88 pointsPart of a wine tasting dinner pairing. This was very tropical with melon, mango, pineapple and straw. Medium acidity and body with riper fruit. It was very pleasant with a medium finish and alcohol. It was paired with smoked salmon, melon and caviar. I would definitely get a bottle, great summer sipper! |

2021 Kiona Pinot Noir LembergerOregon/Washington Red Blend more |
2/29/2024 - novocane Likes this wine: 90 pointsRed mountain wineries don't typically grow or produce Pinot Noirs as the climate is not conducive for this varietal. Kiona did a fruit trade with Bjornson and made this interesting blend of Pinot noir and Lemberger (and a tiny amount of Cabernet Sauvignon). Lemberger is a red grape of central Europe, grown in places like the Czech Republic, Serbia, Austria, Germany. It is not commonly grown in US, let alone at red mountain. |

2/26/2024 - tsdv wrote: 80 pointsJust OK for $10. Starts out nice, but there's an unpleasant acidity on the finish. Supposedly 90% cabernet but doesn't taste like it. I appreciate that it's not overly modern or extracted, but just not that enjoyable. |

1/13/2024 - Stuart10er Likes this wine: NRDark ruby bordering on purple. Nose has oaky notes but not overpowering. Taste has plums, figs, a hint of pepper and tannins are very smooth. Moderate acid. Seems like it was the perfect time to drink this one. |

1997 Kiona Late Harvest White RieslingYakima Valley more |
12/26/2016 - Mossrose wrote: 86 pointsThe main color is a transparent not pretty brown, with a red tint. The main aroma is caramel with a touch of oxidation. But the sip thankfully shows none of the flaws suggested by the look and smell. A creamy texture, light sweetness, and insufficient but still helpful acidity. The fruit flavor is a mix of apple and pear cider with fig and raisin. Ultimately, this Washington Riesling comes across as tired and much inferior to the late harvested ones from Germany, from seriously lacking in refreshing acidity, bright and delicious citrus fruit, and possibly most decisively, the age worthiness to merit keeping for 19 years. |
