Kale Wines Home Run Cuvée Kick Ranch

Flawed - corked.

Dark magenta with ruby highlights. Baking spice, blueberry pie, and violet nose. Medium bodied, crushed blackberries, black cherries, pepper, smoke, a bit of heat, late dry tannins, and a medium to long finish. A nice bottle with plenty of time left.

A good follow up after great wimes

Rich, energetic, and textured. Lots of purity and depth. Very enjoyable now but think it will improve with a few more years of aging

Deep and dark ruby red with high intensity. A bit savory on the attack with iron and dried herbs. Opened up with some dark cherries and violets. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and full bodied. Great acidity and structure. Palate layered in dark gravel, dark cherries and a few other dark fruits. More dried herbs and iron came through on the backend with the dry and long finish. Drink till 2028.

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 …

Hdr Closing Tasting : Very nice showing. Cool climate profile. Black raspberries, some black cherries and pepper. Medium tannins. Nice lean texture. Bright acidity. Good finish.
