Kale Wines Kick Ranch Vineyards Home Run Cuvée Grenache Blend 2010
Kale Anderson is the winemaker at Pahlmeyer and his new red under his own label is stunning. A newcomer to discover now. The Kale 2010 Kick Ranch Home Run Cuvee is a fantastic blend of Syrah (60%), Grenache (37%) and Viognier (3%) and one of the best red discoveries of the year for us. Dark in color, tehg aromas brood just below threshhold. They unfold suddenly into dried tobacco leaf, plum and asphalt. With time, the aromas evolve to anise, cardamom and become more savory in nature. White pepper, blackberry compote and candied citrus peel are revealed in the mouth-watering mid-palette. The flavors culminate in tanned leather, tar and dark chocolate through the finish. Delicious now but can age another 10 years easily. Highly recommended.

Great final night dinner with Kale and Ranko Anderson. First of the reds: Deep ruby red with purplish hues. Nose started off with very savory with tons of olive tapenade and leather. After around 30 minutes it completely changed with purple floral notes and tight black and blue berries. Well integrated moderate tannins (6/10), and balanced acidity. Plush palate with dark berries and layers of savory undertones and twigs. Excellent structure and built to last. Drink till 2025.

Really nice distinctive wine. Very pretty. With while cluster ferment employed on the Grenache the wine shoes perfect balance between fruit and depth. Definitely put in the cellar and make certain to have enough in hand to drink now and throughout the year. Fantastic wine.
