Black Kite has been a consistent Pinot producer over the years. They really hit it out of the park with this SLH beauty. Nice strawberry, with that caramel and vanilla streak to balance the tart fruit. Yum.

Normally an Anderson Valley producer but this is sexy SLH with the classic bold black fruit and power.

Second of five... and evening favorite. Beautiful color, dark fruit flavors, and spices combine to make a beautiful wine.

Intoxicating aromatics of sandalwood, mushroom and pomegranate. Earthy and spicy on the palate. Beautifully put together.

I enjoy Black Kite products. This one opens up with ripe raspberries and soft anise. You get more red fruit and some spice on your palate. It is smooth but does have a lingering bit of spice on the finish. This wines drinks exceptionally well.
