Kiona Vineyards Red Mountain Estate Reserve 2022, Washington State
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nose of sweet cherries, currants, light oak, spices and herbs.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, light oak, chocolates, peppercorn and light black tea.
Nice length on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a tasty Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Red Mountain in Washington State. Starting to show complexity and good balance. Tangy and spicy.
This 3 year old is still young and tannic, and will get better in a few years. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.
Not your typical Washington State Cabernet, which is nice to see.
Elegant, but already enjoyable, even by itself. A good food wine too.
A blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot. Aged in (44% new) French Oak barrels for 22 months. A small production of less than 5,500 bottles.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$65.

2004 vintage is pruney and viscous, still with hints of cola and cherry after 13 years (was in a magnum). Strong leather and tobacco notes linger through to finish. Yum!

@DavidTraynor76 comes over for din-din the other day and he brings us this: oh boy!! Huge wine!! However, unlike most other Red Mtn. reds, this one lacked that notorious fruit expected from this region. Huge oak was there, fruit a little less. I'm not sure why that may be!?! '10 red Mtn fruit was massive, just not this one. I'll give the rating the benefit of the doubt, but you can be sure that I'll do a bit of research. Maybe I'll call winemaker Scott Williams and ask him what he did with it.

Nov 20th, 2022Much richer and darker than I remember. A really robust Cabernet from Washington state. Well structured and balanced as expected from Kiona, delicious wine.

Incredibly smooth, hints a dark plum. Worth the price.
