Kana Winery Wine Ratings, Sept, 2010

Kana 2006 Dark Star (Columbia Valley)  -

"90 points" Wine Spectator

 "Velvety, focused and generous with its bay leaf-accented blueberry and currant flavors, riding fine tannins through a vivid finish. Syrah, Grenache and Tempranillo.  Drink now through 2014. 240 cases made." -H.S.

Kana 2006 Scarlet Fire, Ciel du Cheval Vineyard, Reserve Red Blend (Red Mountain)

"90 points" Wine Enthusiast

"A big (15.6% alcohol) and assertive Rhone blend. Red Mountain's iconic Ciel du Cheval Vineyard is the source of the excellent fruit, which brings a mix of black pepper, wild ferns, herbs, tart raspberries and cold stone. Penetrating and compact."  - P.G.  (9/1/2010)

Kana 2006 Old Vines, Red (Yakima Valley) -

"89 points" Wine Enthusiast

Highest scoring Lemberger, from Washington State, ever.  "Mostly Lemberger, from a 1979 planting, this is an explosion of sweet berry and milk chocolate - what's not to like? Luscious and full across the palate, it's a raspberry truffle in a bottle. Not sweet, so not for dessert, but in a way it is dessert all by itself."  - P.G.  (9/1/2010)  

Kana 2006 Reserve Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA)

"89 points" Wine Enthusiast

"High-toned, with penetrating aromas of smoked ham and a whiff of the good funk. That cured meat character follows across the palate, along with bright, brambly strawberry/cherry fruit and vivacious acids."  - P.G.  (9/1/2010)

Kana 2006 Tempranillo, Columbia Valley -

"87 points� Wine Spectator

"Bright and jazzy, with a warm blanket of rich fruit and tannin around a lively core of red berry and spice flavors. Drink now through 2013. 320 cases made." - H.S.

2007 Masterpiece, Yakima Valley -

 "87 points" Wine Spectator

 "Soft and appealing for its polished texture and pretty pear, tangerine and spice flavors. Viognier, Roussanne and Marsanne. Drink now. 280 cases made." - H.S.
