  Opened 4 hours in advance of our dinner at the club. The nose was fruit with a hint of chocolate. The palate was blackberry, blueberry, cassis, wood and hints of chocolate leading to a long finish. We drank against a 2014 Pahlmeyer and my guests were equally divided as to which was the better wine. It was the first time I have ever tried a Kata wine and I was impressed. My personal favorite of the evening.

  Stunning aromas of violets, blueberry and black fruit with notes of graphite, black cherry and firm tannins. Decanted for 2 hours and it evolved perfectly over a 2-hour steak dinner.

  My third bottle, and each one has been a little less impressive than the first. Still good, and I love the blend, but less interesting and more monolithic. Maybe I needed to decant more, but it makes me wonder just how well these will age.

  Just ok. Very linear, simple. Few if any secondary or tertiary flavors. Expected more from this bottle. Will wait a couple of years and try again.

  Black fruit and floral aromas followed by flavors of blackberry, licorice, plum and cedar. This wine will age well for another 10 years easily. Silky tannins and a tasty 20-second finish.
