Overview: In 2008, Kale and Ranko Anderson set out to create Rhône inspired wines from extraordinary vineyards in Northern California under their own label, Kale Wines. Specializing in small production, handcrafted wines, Kale utilizes new technologies as well as ancient techniques to express the unique vineyards’ most delicious characteristics.
Tasting Notes: Larry Hyde & Sons Chardonnay is brilliant gold that is laced with a hint of green in the glass. Honeysuckle and orange blossom notes jump out, along with white pepper and candied pineapple. A pure study of balance, the acid is fresh alongside the oak, offering weight on the tongue. Feijoa, Asian pear, and softened grapefruit pith play alongside honeycomb and toast. The waxy finish is extended with night jasmine and lemon curd.
Pairing: Mushroom risotto
Points: 95, The Wine Independent
Format/ABV: 750 ml/13.6%
