Years ago Kivelstadt Cellars was only an idea, the idea that people deserve to drink wines with soul. These wines would come from vineyards with heritage, farmed with the utmost respect for nature, and fermented with low intervention. A combination of these ideals has evolved into a lifestyle. A lifestyle which vintage after vintage results in delicious wine’s which pay homage to California’s terroir.

Tasting Notes:
The wine is light and steely minerality. Aromas are punctuated by bright cranberry, grapefruit and savor herbs. By using grape varieties made famous in the Rhone we attain a mid palate that makes this perfect with light food or alone!
