Surprisingly robust and fresh for a 2017. Aromas of baking spices, strawberries, hint of vanilla and subtle notes of oak. Flavours of strawberry, vanilla and spiced fruit cake with soft tannins and a vibrant acidity. Paired with roasted chicken thighs in a balsamic cherry sauce. — 2 months ago

An utterly exuberant Sauvignon blanc, totally unlike a Loire wine, but excellent. Lemongrass, wax, lime zest, salt, plum flesh, very complex fruit qualities that make it happy and responsive to food. — 5 years ago

A hearty and rich Forts, could bluff its way to a 1st growth blind. Consensus was this needed more time but decanting a few hours brought out sweet layers of cedar and dark red berry. Monster nose. — 3 years ago

Fruit forward, very smooth, low tannins with moderate acidity. Red fruit in the palate with maraschino cherries and red currants. Went well with an early spring al fresco dinner on a river bluff. — 3 years ago

9.1

Kite Tail is from the bluff top on the estate where the soils are well drained and the winds are high. Slowly harvested over 3 weeks and then fermented to full malolactic. It then spends 16 months in 50% new french oak. Definitely a bit on the richer side of the spectrum, but the freshness of the fruit and the cutting acidity make it a high quality example of cool weather cali chard. — 6 years ago
