2013 KALE ROSÉ NAPA VALLEY
91 points, Wine Enthusiast, July 2014
Made from a blend of 62% Grenache and 38% Syrah, this is a classically dry, refreshingly crisp rosé, pink-salmon in color that’s intense yet soft, crafted in a Provence style. The grapes come from Rutherford, Atlas Peak and Sonoma County’s Kick Ranch, tasting of fresh raspberry and spring flowers, a bite of wet stone on the finish. – VB
2010 KALE HOME RUN CUVÉE "KICK RANCH VINEYARD" SONOMA COUNTY
92 points, Wine Spectator, March 2014
Rich, bold and deeply flavored, with tiers of blackberry, boysenberry and raspberry that saturate the palate, easing up midpalate and ending with a long, dense, chewy aftertaste. Syrah, Grenache and Viognier. Drink now through 2023. 81 cases made. –JL
2010 KALE SYRAH "ALDER SPRINGS VINEYARD - SPIRIT ROCK" MENDOCINO COUNTY
93 points, Purely Domestic Wine Report, Volume 3.2
A nose of peppercorn and juicy cherries with hints of blueberry. The palate is lean and finely precise. The finish is well-integrated piquant raspberry and warm blueberry. It is a beautifully expressive wine from one of California’s top sites for growing Syrah. - DW
