2023 KIATRA ESTATE Vintage Summary:
2022 was a historically dry yet warm growing season that resulted in smaller berries and lower yields but grapes full of flavor. This vintage of our KIATRA ESTATE is comprised of three clones of Cabernet Sauvignon selected from six blocks, harvested by hand over two nights during September 2022. Each late-night harvest was designed to maximize phenolic ripeness and the clonal diversity within our vineyard and provide the winemaking team with the ingredients to make the best expression of our vineyard and the 2022 growing season.
Winemaking
The winemaking team led by Tony Biagi built on the foundation of the fruit using 80% new French oak barrels to create a balanced, yet complex wine that proportionally display acidity, tannins, and the cooler southern Napa cabernet fruit. Balance, texture and tension are hallmarks of this wine and 2022 is a perfect vintage to showcase these attributes. This is Tony’s favorite wine from NEOTEMPO to date.
Aroma and Bouquet
This wine unfolds with enticing aromas of luscious red cherry and kirsch liqueur, while subtle herbal notes of lavender and fresh mint add a soothing nuance. As the wine opens, hints of black tea and undertones of dark chocolate and tobacco emerge. Warm spices, particularly cinnamon and anise, weave in and out of the fruit, creating a complex and inviting aroma profile.
Tasting Notes
The 2022 Kiatra presents a black fruit-driven profile, with succulent flavors of bing cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry. A touch of black pepper adds a spicy nuance, enhancing the fruit’s depth. Underlying minerality provides a crisp, refreshing backbone, complimenting the richness of the fruit and leaving a clean, lingering finish. The interplay of fruit, spice, and minerality creates a harmonious and engaging wine with polished tannins.
Serving Suggestion
This wine drinks beautifully now especially with decanting (90 minutes) and will continue to improve over the next twelve years and gracefully age for another two decades.
The color white is associated with purity – the embossed tree branches are a pair of black oak trees on our estate aged about 100 years old. The emboss symbolizes texture.
