Fruit forward, very smooth, low tannins with moderate acidity. Red fruit in the palate with maraschino cherries and red currants. Went well with an early spring al fresco dinner on a river bluff. — 3 years ago

Kite Tail is from the bluff top on the estate where the soils are well drained and the winds are high. Slowly harvested over 3 weeks and then fermented to full malolactic. It then spends 16 months in 50% new french oak. Definitely a bit on the richer side of the spectrum, but the freshness of the fruit and the cutting acidity make it a high quality example of cool weather cali chard. — 5 years ago

A hearty and rich Forts, could bluff its way to a 1st growth blind. Consensus was this needed more time but decanting a few hours brought out sweet layers of cedar and dark red berry. Monster nose. — 2 years ago
