2018 Kiona Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain

Winemaker Notes: Cabernet Sauvignon is king on Red Mountain. It's the only cultivar that Kiona grows at all five of our estate sites, and for good reason; here it's a powerful, balanced, and varietally-correct wine of distinction. For the 2018 version, older Cabernet blocks at Kiona Estate marry with the younger, burlier plantings at Heart of the Hill, Sunset Bench, and Ranch. The resulting interplay showcases Red Mountain at its finest. This authoritative wine shows why Red Mountain has a reputation as a powerhouse Cabernet Sauvignon producer capable of going toe-to-toe with the world’s best. Fine grain tannin, great fruit, and dark color abound. Cabernet Sauvignon put Red Mountain on the map for good reason; the wines show incredible geographical typicity and intrinsic appeal.
