Separate handpicked lots from Kiona’s “Heart of the Hill” vineyard are fermented in 3-5 ton fermenters. Each varietal is barrel-aged in 50% new French oak for 6 months prior to blending. The final blend is returned to the barrel for an additional 12 months. The wine is given a minimum of 12 months of bottle age before release.
Tasting Notes & Pairings
Tasting Notes: A wine with great depth. Inviting aromas of cocoa, sweet coconut, dark berry, vanilla, and cherry fruit. Bright cherry followed by chocolate with hints of caramel and toast on the palate. Firm mouth-filling tannins contribute to the impressive structure of this full-bodied wine.
Pairings: Try it with sausage and peppers or truffle risotto.
