Kick Ranch Vineyards Home Run Cuvée Grenache Blend

First red we tried from Kale Anderson at his own personal winery, Kale Wines. Deep and dark ruby red. Interesting nose with notes of dark chocolate and forest floor. Definitely some savory notes too. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and full bodied Rhone blend. Silky, smooth, thick, and creamy texture coated with dark fruits like berries and plums. Strong on the attack, seems heavily extracted. Long and lingering finish. Got a little drier on day two. So much structure and complexity going on in this wine and only for $45. Solid wine and worth checking out if you haven't. Drink till 2025.

This is fantastic. Rich, opulent, extracted, with soft tannins. Drink now.

Deep blood red with a wide brim. Fun nose with a mix of fruit and savory aromas. Blueberry, soft vanilla, and forest notes dominate. I love these little Syrah, Grenache blends that have popped up all over the place. Full bodied but able to maintain a silky smooth mouthfeel. All the dark fruits on the palate, along with black tea, licorice, and lavender. The finish is long with hints of spice with nice legs. This Rhone by way of Sonoma is just a teenager now and will be even better later. Highly impressive stuff.
