Aromas bursting out of the glass! Dark fruit and spice on the palate with smooth tannins and medium plus finish. Very balanced for a relatively young wine! Delicious!

Tasted at Red Mtn. Revelry event on May 25th. The wine had been in the barrel that morning, so it was pre-release. I can't give you much detail other than it was drinking fantastic; wonderful cab with soft tannins and smooth finish. Came back to the winery for the release a month later and scored four bottles. It was better than the 2003 that they were pushing at the time.

(Kiona Vineyards Estate Bottled Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain) With fruit coming from the vineyard’s 1975 plantings, it’s a brooding wine with vanilla, baking spices, olive, golden raisins, cinnamon stick, and dark cherry. The palate has sweet fruit flavors with abundant barrel accents, a compelling mouthfeel and firm, grippy tannins that need some time to settle down. Lots of good things going on here but give it some time to come together. Best after 2016. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. Kiona Estate and Heart of the Hill Estate vineyards. 13.5% alcohol. 351 cases produced.
