Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"Our second label wine, KEOLA is comprised of barrels and lots from the same vineyards that make up our top-tier Aaron cuvées. These barrels are declassified lots and extra barrels that simply don't find their way into our flagship wines, thus we blend them into KEOLA, our everyday drinking red that massively overdelivers for the price point. Juicy, vibrant and intensely aromatic, its a medium-bodied, absolutely delicious wine that goes with any place, any dish, and any time of day. Comprised mostly of Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Mourvèdre it's a rich and savory, with a blue/red fruit profile and notes of grilled meats and sage/underbrush. The palate is luscious and juicy, loaded with flavors of macerated cherries, cocoa powder, toasty oak, and licorice. Aged for 18 month is 100% French oak, 50% new, it's a wine that will certainly age in the cellar, but we recommend cracking it open now and enjoying it through the remainder of this year!"

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"Bold black currant and blueberry aromas are lifted by hints of lilac on the nose of this blend of 58% Petite Sirah, 29% Syrah, 9% Grenache and 4% Graciano. The palate is creamy in texture, with polished tannins that offer rich black cherry and vanilla flavors." -MK, 10/1/2024
