Kita

Camp 4 Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

We’re very sad this is among the last of Kitá Wines on the market… Yet we’re also very grateful to still have a couple of bottles to sip and savor over time.

Kitá Wines was situated in Santa Ynez Valley AVA, within the broader Santa Barbara County of the Central Coast of California, where conditions can range from cool and foggy to warm and dry, depending on your proximity to the coast.

The winery was founded in 2010 by the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians with renowned Winemaker Tara Gomez (a Chumash descendant) at the helm of day-to-day operations. Kitá Wines closed in April of 2022, leaving an indelible mark on the wine industry with a lasting (and award-winning) reputation for impeccable quality and deliciousness.

This wine is the 2014 Kitá Wines “Kalaš” red blend, comprised of 48% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Franc, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot, with 13.5% ABV.

It had a medium garnet hue and vibrant notes of black cherry, blackberry, black currant, plum, violets, green bell pepper, cedar, nutmeg, vanilla, leather, tobacco, and graphite.

Château L'Evangile

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Took a minute for this to open up, but when it did, it was fantastic. Fruits kept some boldness, but still had some earthiness in there. Great velvety mouth feel. @Mes Amis with Tara, Bo & Kevin — 2 years ago

Viña Ventisquero

Tara Atacama Chardonnay 2017

Omigosh if you can get some Ventisquero please do. This is yet another if their fabuuuuu offerings. Heady and full but it has a halo. It levitates. It gives you what for at the same time as a massage. Which sounds like an abusive relationship but this wine has figured out how to push your buttons in the right way. — 4 years ago
