Kith & Kin, Old English for “Friends & Family”, is a Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from all corners of the Napa Valley but with its heart rooted in Rutherford. This wine is approachable in its youth, with balanced tannins and a fruit-forward character. The vast majority of fruit comes from our estate, supplemented by a limited amount from Napa Valley growers.
"Super ripe boysenberry jam and chalky tannins connect for a restrained, plush mouthfeel. Mocha-cherry chocolate enters mid-point, with lifted notes of white peppered tobacco leaf that dry the palate, while the richness of the wine never fades." 94 points, Tasting Panel Magazine
Deep ruby in the glass, with expressive aromas of cassis, black cherry, and blackberry layered with hints of violet and baking spice. The palate opens with juicy dark fruit, evolving into cocoa nib and subtle vanilla through the mid-palate. Fine-grained tannins and bright acidity carry the wine to a long, polished, and elegant finish.
The 2023 vintage marked the end of our three-year drought, bringing nearly 30” of rainfall that contributed to the revitalization of our soil profiles and fostering robust canopy growth. The vintage was one of the mildest in the last 10 years which provided a long hangtime, allowing full flavor development leading to very expressive flavors and aromas. As soon as the fruit set after flowering, extensive hand work began in the vineyard opening the canopy to allow for full sun exposure on the fruit. This leads to full, concentrated flavor and ensures the fruit is as expressive as possible. The 2023 vintage will be one for the ages and we feel these wines truly capture the exceptional year.
This classic French dish cooks slowly for hours marrying the sweetness of the vegetables and the rich meat to create a delightfully flavorful bowl, perfect for winter evenings and easy to share for holiday gatherings. Pair with Proprietary Red Wine or Kith & Kin Cabernet Sauvignon for a cozy evening at home.
This has been one of our most-requested Il Pranzo recipes to date! Our Estate Chef’s creation is perfect for those summer grilling days, and pairs wonderfully with our Kith & Kin Cabernet Sauvignon. The creamy, cheesy polenta plays perfectly off the vibrant flavors found in the grilled chicken.
