Amazing. Pleasant surprise.

I opened this while sautéing garlic and sweet onions. Tasted it as I added steamed potatoes and sweet kale from the garden. The wine’s transition tracked the vegetables: soft silky, then earthy, tannic, and a subtle bitter hit at the back of the tongue as the veggies charred. Then the acidity opened as I added tomatoes and Parm to the dish. 😍 — 7 years ago
2020 is the year of Brad Pitt. The year he returns to the hearts and minds of everyone (Kris). Dinner @Bayfare Social to close out the Rosewood stay. Tapas of kale and hamachi and pulpo and chorizo. Delicious. The paella was missing the signature socarrat that makes it so delicious — outside of that minor miss, a solid night that ended with proper churros. And the wine? A solid staple that delivered as you would want it to... we must return (and not forget the croquettes or short rib) — 4 years ago
Smoky nose and then berry bursting upon impact. Great price point for an every day wine with a burger or a kale salad, depending on your preference. — 6 years ago
Since we discovered them Kale has fast become a favorite. This Syrah is relatively light and less spicy. Everything is balanced so nicely. We want to get more asap — 6 years ago
Sauvignon Blanc May begins!! All the grapefruit on the nose and palate in this NZ Sauv Blanc; tart acid on the palate and lingering minerals. So tasty alone, but is going to be amazing with our kale salad with grapefruit and roast chicken with lemongrass! #gotm2020 — 5 years ago
The 2010 Esprit de Beaucastel from Tablas Creek was a tough act to follow, but this elegant Rhône blend from Sonoma just did that.
The nose was quite similar with aroma of blue fruits and earthy elements with hint of violet, it was the palate that set it apart: soft, complex and deep, with great texture and beautiful acidity that adds the tension. Elegant and seamless.
Kale Anderson was the long time wine maker at Pahlmeyer, and Kale wines are all vineyard-specific. Worth seeking out. — 5 years ago
