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.

Received en échange with @Greg Ballington! A very nice Rhône blend. The Grenache is brining a lot of juicy roundness up front. Thanks!!!

Pepper and smoke on the nose. Beautifully blended wine with dark fruit, spice, and great balance. Keeps you interested for sure.
