Kiler Grove grows Mourvèdre, Grenache, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Trebbiano grapes. We have bottled ’05, ’07 and ’09 vintages of “Interpretation” (our “GSM” blend), “Zinergy™” (KGW’s cult Zinfandel) and Petite Sirah, plus the ’08 and ’09 Trebbiano. Approximately half of the 1,500 cases that are bottled each year is our flagship wine, Zinergy™. The goal for each year’s production is 1500 cases (minimum) to 3000 cases (maximum).
Trebbiano
Paso Robles 2009
90% Trebbiano | 10% Sauvignon Blanc
Alcohol: 14.5%
This vineyard is now 11 years old. The roots have driven deep into our limestone shales and clays to find the nutrients the plant needs to make the best fruit possible. This vintage expresses more nuance than ever before, emphasizing the kiwi, citrus, and melon characters this wine is known for. Our Trebbiano pairs well with seafood, poultry, salads, and vegetables.
Interpretation
Paso Robles 2009
40% Grenache | 40% Mourvèdre | 20% Petite Sirah
Alcohol: 14.5%
Our New World homage to the wines of the southern Rhône region, Interpretation is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Petite Sirah. Although it’s our middleweight wine, it lacks nothing in the way of aroma or flavor. On the nose there are hints of the classic Old World earthy aromatics as well as the full-bodied, ripe fruit character of New World wines. Flavors hint of cranberry, red and black cherry, and plum. It pairs well with all but sweet/tart dishes, and stands alone very well.
Zinergy™
Paso Robles 2007 & 2009
75% Zinfandel | 20% Petite Sirah | 5% Grenache
Alcohol: 14.5%
Zinergy exhibits the spiced berry character common to Zinfandel wines, and with the addition of Petite Sirah and Grenache, the result is a flavor and aroma synergy that exceeds the sum of the parts. 2007 is becoming one of the most heralded of the recent vintages, yielding wines of full ripeness and abundant aromas. Zinergy is our most versatile food wine, and boasts aromas of spice, blackberry, rose, and smoke with a strawberry note from that little bit of Grenache.
Zinfandel
Paso Robles 2009
100% Zinfandel
Alcohol: 14.5%
Our first offering of our Paso Robles zinfandel grape, unblended, standing alone, and strutting her stuff. This is a medium-bodied red wine which expresses the inherent red cherry, blackberry, pepper, and olive flavors and aromas this wine is loved for.
Grenache
Paso Robles 2009
100% Grenache
Alcohol: 14.5%
This is the first time we’ve bottled our Grenache as a varietal and we’re thrilled with the aromas and flavors of strawberry and red cherry with underlying earth and cedar. This rich, elegant wine is a perfect accompaniment for poultry, pork, or lighter Italian fare
Petite Sirah
Paso Robles 2009
90% Petite Sirah | 5% Grenache | 5% Mourvèdre
Alcohol: 14.5%
This wine is one of the best iterations of the true Durif Petite Sirah that we grow, and now that the full aging process is complete, this wine has become a truly elegant offering. The aromatics are spice, blueberry, smoke and cocoa, the flavors are dark fruit with a hint of cream, and there are smooth, ample tannins leading up to a long, ripe finish. Since we only have a small lot of this wine, we don’t serve it in our tasting room but we encourage you to make the leap of faith with us and take a bottle home to share with family and the best of your friends.
Coming Soon:
Our 2009 Saignée will be released in May, and Paso Robles Late Harvest Zinfandel, our first dessert wine, will be available in July 2012.
