September 2023 Wine Club

We are delighted to share this vertical trio of wines from our Kiana neighborhood. Situated on gentle, southeast-facing slopes of our Estate, Kiana features a warm and lovely balanced growing habitat, in which vines neither struggle nor become overly vigorous. While vintage variation fosters discernible nuances in aromas, flavors, and textures each year - the wines from Kiana typically offer a generous and energetic expression of juicy cherry and blackberry fruit. hese wines are approachable now and are perfect for transitioning into fall as you enjoy summer's last bounty or savor a glass on the porch one last time. Our winemaker Erik Kramer loves to pair them with braised greens and duck confit. May these bottles bring you many moments of shared pleasure with family and friends.
