Kit Aromas

Tasting Notes

Nose

Dried rose petals and violets rise above a bed of sour cherry, tar, and cedar, with hints of dried herbs and a truffle-like earthiness that deepens with air.

Palate

Ethereal yet powerful, with bright cherry and raspberry fruit framed by firm, fine-grained tannins, rose petal, and a savory tar note that grounds the elegance.

Finish

Remarkably long, with cherry, rose, and cedar persisting through waves of tannin that promise decades of development.

Domaine de l'Hortus Grande Cuvée Pic Saint-Loup 2020
Red Wine

Domaine de l'Hortus Grande Cuvée Pic Saint-Loup 2020

Domaine de l'Hortus

Domaine de l'Hortus Grande Cuvée is a masterful expression of Pic Saint-Loup — a region where the altitude and dramatic temperature swings between day and night produce wines of remarkable freshness despite the Mediterranean heat. This is serious Languedoc red at a fraction of Rhône Valley prices.

Domaine de la Côte Pinot Noir Estates 2021
Red Wine

Domaine de la Côte Pinot Noir Estates 2021

Domaine de la Côte

Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman's estate-wide blend offers a window into their meticulous Sta. Rita Hills farming without the single-vineyard price tag. It drinks like Burgundy in its restraint and transparency, proving that California Pinot Noir can whisper rather than shout.

Domaine de la Bouïssière Gigondas Les Olivets 2021
Red Wine

Domaine de la Bouïssière Gigondas Les Olivets 2021

Domaine de la Bouïssière

The Faravel family farms old-vine Grenache and Mourvèdre on Gigondas's rocky Dentelles de Montmirail slopes, where low yields and extreme diurnal temperature swings build concentration naturally. Les Olivets is their flagship — a wine of real substance that never sacrifices drinkability for power. Give it thirty minutes in a decanter and it opens beautifully.

Pietradolce Etna Rosso DOC 2021
Red Wine

Pietradolce Etna Rosso DOC 2021

Pietradolce

Pietradolce farms some of the highest vineyards on Etna's north slope, and this entry-level Rosso punches well above its price. Nerello Mascalese shows its best here — transparent, mineral-driven, alive with tension. It's a red wine that feels like it was drawn from the rock itself.
