2016 Home Run CuvÉe "Kick Ranch Vineyard"

Fountaingrove district, Sonoma County

Tasting Notes

Much more red and fresh fruit than previous vintages, showing fresh ground white pepper and cardamom. The Grenache is taking a more central role in the blend this year despite being only 49%. The texture is plush and generous, and the tannins have smoothed substantially since bottling day. The typical tobacco and smoked meat character is subdued in the 2016, and it is showing much more freshness and plum which should bode well for aging – 10-15 years.
