Fall 2024 Wine Club Release - The Wines
Red Mountain Goodness, Just For You
Normally, we'd pick one flagship wine to headline a release and round out the rest of the box with wines from our traditional lineup. This go-'round, we're featuring not one, not two, but three wines that we consider "headline-worthy."
You'd be hard-pressed to find more sought-after bottlings from our estate than Old Block, Reserve, and Cyclops. All three feature in this Fall's box. Cheers!

Our flagship blend showcasing the very best of our vineyards in the Red Mountain AVA. This 2021 version features the classic trio of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc.

"2021 Kiona Vineyards Red Blend Estate Reserve is a well-constructed wine... the mouthfeel is fantastic." - Rob Gerasi
Red Mountain Cyclops VI - PDF
Our seminal Red Mountain Syrah-based blend returns! This sixth iteration includes components from five top Red Mountain sites - Syrah from Sunset Bench and Ranch at the End of the Road, Grenache from Red Heaven, Counoise from Ciel du Cheval, and Mourvèdre from Heart of the Hill.
"It’s full-bodied, broad and generous, with well-integrated tannins... Drink or hold." - James Suckling
2023 Estate Bottled Red Mountain Rosé of Sangiovese - PDF - (Mixed Reds & Whites Only)
Easily the most popular wine in our tasting room during the summer months, our Rosé of Sangiovese delights thousands of visitors during our busiest season. We dedicate a block at the Kiona Estate vineyard specifically to rosé production, meaning we can dial in sugar, acid, and concentration best suited to the style. A certified taste explosion, at least according to our Dad. (No scored reviews available).
2020 Estate Bottled Ranch at the End of the Road Cabernet Sauvignon - PDF - (Premier Reds Only)
The smallest bottling we've ever done in our 50-year history, 2020 Ranch at the End of the Road clocks in at 43 cases total. This single lot was fermented in a 390-liter truncated "Perle" puncheon from Tonnellerie Quintessence. It's an extraordinary wine available in extremely limited quantities. (No scored reviews available).
A note on availability - Premier Reds members will receive 2 bottles each of the 2020 Ranch in their Fall Release by default. If you would like some and you are not a Premier Reds member, we have a small amount remaining as an add-on, first come, first served.
