2021 Red Dirt Red, Sonoma Valley

90 Points, Wine Enthusiast

The name of this wine pays tribute to the red volcanic soils formed here 5 million years ago on the Kunde estate. Each vintage of Red Dirt Red showcases the astonishingly wide range of grape varieties that grow and thrive in our vivid, rust-colored soils. The juicy aromas of ripe red fruit and caramel are balanced by rich flavors of plum and pomegranate, creating a lush palate with approachable tannins.

Winemaker’s Comments: "Red Dirt Red is a tasting room favorite! It’s a joy and a challenge to explore blends of grapes not commonly used together. The ratio of varieties in Red Dirt Red changes every year, but the goal is always the same — to showcase the distinct flavors from the Kunde estate. Enjoy this wine alone or with a variety of foods, as it is meant to be enjoyed often!”
