Last red from Kale Anderson's personal wine project, Kale Wines. Darker ruby red than the Home Run Cuvée with some purplish hues. This bottle was tasted over four days and it was needed. Day one (92): Nose was tight with slight heat and back end of berries (both red and dark, more dark thou) with some dark plums. You could easily see this is a super extracted wine. Plush with dark dark fruits, creme de cassis, and some light baking spices. No heat on the palate. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied with a super long finish. Day two (93+): Still a little bit of heat on the nose. Still crazy powerful on the palate, huge punch of baking spices, caramel and vanilla. Still needs time to fully integrate. Day three and four (96): Heat has dissipated on the nose but still loaded with the dark fruits and spices. The palates complexity definitely started to show, slight spiciness, and lots of dark cocoa espresso beans. So delicious, voluptuous and stunning. We could sit and drink this wine all day. Stunning value and we might have to try and grab some. Drink till 2030. — 9 years ago

The grapes for the 2013 vintage are sourced from Oakville, a change from previous vintages. This Chardonnay is bright yellow-gold in color and has a substantial mouthfeel and fresh acidity. Aromas and flavors of green apple, pear, and yellow citrus are layered and persistent throughout, intertwined with nuttiness and smokiness from time spent in 100% French oak. The finish is complex, long, and lingering. Kudos to winemaker Robert Hunt. — 10 years ago

Dusty rose petals, leather, tobacco box on the nose. Tannins are still strong and carries the wine into a long finish. Flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate, espresso, sour cherries, graphite. Tastes very European, which I attribute more to age than the original flavor profile. The finish lingers on and on, and loves umami. Fun wine! — 10 years ago

This was really tasty and smooth. Add some lemon and it takes on a totally different flavor. That was suggested by the man at The Anderson's. Highly recommend. 11% alcohol. 50% Malbec 50% Merlot — 10 years ago

Wonderful nose that gives you a great sense for this wines Bordeaux style. Surprisingly this bottle has held up in its old age. Smooth with mild fruit. Hints of blackberry and full of tar. Even some modest spice at the very end. Lovely. — 9 years ago

The grapes for the 2014 vintage of Sauvignon Blanc now hail from Oak Knoll, which in my opinion, adds to the depth of this wine. It exhibits layers of juicy tropical fruits, bright citrus, and melon, coupled with smokiness and a richer mouthfeel due to barrel fermentation and aging. The finish lingers for a while. This is a lovely fumé blanc style Sauvignon Blanc. — 10 years ago

Tasty, a little more full bodied than other Pinot I've tried. Maybe it's a little young?
