2004 #sonomacoast #cabernetsauvignon + #syrah grown above the fog line = warm days, cool nights. Vines grown together, co-fermented. Both bright & tannic, savory and dark fruit. Day 2 better yet. Thanks, Darek! — 9 years ago
The lightest pineapple wafts above lemon oils misting over light alluvial rock surfaces. There are hints of lemon pudding, but they are not the vandal scrawl of winemaking delinquency, but crowning accoutrements to this lady's natural form.

A wine that I brought tonight and felt strongly about. Incredible pedigree, winemaker is from Araujo which is insane great! Beautiful 12 but I committed infanticide., should laid it down another few years but it did open up like a million bucks after a few hours. Truly opulent Napa wine which is well structured and loved by all tonight. A new rockstar on the block vs the the old rock stars that were drinking in full stride tonight. It's was awesome tonight but I can't wait for it to evolve a little and become STELLAR in the future. I highly recommend this wine. The preliminary rating is 96 to 98 and the 13 is even better if you can imagine that! — 9 years ago
This is my first exposure to this wine, but definitely won't be the last.....ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!! Rich dark fruit, very lush and complex. From back label, "Along the western slopes of Napa Valley in Calistoga, lie 125 acres of premium vineyard. Dr. Kenefick, retired neurosurgeon has farmed these red rock filled soils for over three decades. Kenefick Ranch wines speak of the place, the man, and his vision. 100% estate grown and sustainably farmed. Aged 18 months in French barrique."
The nose was so wonderful, I had to taste before letting it breathe....it was marvelous. It continued to improve in complexity for three hours before it made the best compliment to braised lamb chops. — 9 years ago

Crisp, fruit forward. And portions of the proceeds go to their light horse foundation which is cool. — 10 years ago

My first Idaho wine and I have to say, this is good. Really good. Nicely perfumed nose of violets, black fruit and white pepper. Smooth and soft flavors of blackberry, ripe plum and black pepper. Only downside is the 14.8% alcohol gives a bit of heat on the finish. — 10 years ago

For the ridiculously low price; this is a luscious 'sneak peak' at Byron Kosuge's signature extraction and juicy reputation. The story of the Kingston family is a buried treasure, and the 'Tobiano' Pinot Noir (named for the family's favorite horse on the ranch) is a delicious introduction to the gold that Grandpa Kingston could never have imagined, flowing freely from the Casablanca Valley, Chile. — 12 years ago
