About the Wine
In 1879, the first Kunde vineyards were planted from Chateau Margaux and Lafite Rothschild cuttings. This historic estate is ran by fourth and fifth generation family members, as they continue to carry the torch, lit by their original founding family member Luis Kunde. They bear the same commitment Luis carried to innovation and maintaining a deep, personal commitment to sustainable farming and preserving the land for future generations to come.
Kunde lets the vineyards voice be heard through the bottle and ultimately your glass. Their holistic wine making approach and sustainable practices allow ever minute detail of the landscape sing through with its noble voice and harmonious tone. These are terroir driven wines that come from a unique vineyard landscape that offers wines of great depth and complexity.
Tasting Notes: Crafted from vines planted in 1882. Lush and concentrated, this Zinfandel reveals aromas of black cherry and baking spice with flavors of cherry and vanilla. A hint of nutmeg lingers on the rich velvety finish.
Reviews
Big, brawny waves of blackberry and mocha dot the landscape of this full-bodied wine that's tense in structure and thick in rich tannins. An earthy note of forest floor complements the bold fruit and gives depth to the wine. ~91WE
