The 2019 Hell’s Kitchen is a blend of 55% Syrah, 17% Graciano, 16% Grenache and 12% Tannat—winemaker Joshua Harp notes the high proportion of Graciano and says it did very well this vintage. After some time in the glass, scents of cassis and candied blueberries give way to nuances of beef drippings, purple flowers and milk chocolate. The palate manages full fruit and juicy lift, with a grainy tannic frame and a finish laced with loads of floral perfume. This has more to give with another 2-3 years in bottle.
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
Region
California
California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Glass-staining ruby. Ripe black and blue fruit, olive and licorice scents are sharpened by a spicy suggestion of cracked pepper. Supple, sweet and broad on the palate, offering juicy blueberry and cassis flavors and a hint of vanilla on the back half. In a plush, fruit-driven style, showing no rough edges and a long, oak-spiced finish framed by slowly building tannins. 40% new French oak.

Winery Notes
An eclectic blend, named after the eclectic and iconic neighborhood in NYC, our 2019 Hell's Kitchen replicates the iconoclastic Rhone-style wine that has made this wine such a hit with customers and critics alike. 5 separate fermentation compromise this wine creating a seductive florality on the nose and finish along with a lively and juicy palate and rustic, fine-grained tannins.
