This 2021 Kale McGah Vineyard Heritage Red from Rutherford is a vibrant, medium-plus bodied blend that opens with maraschino cherry and cinnamon, layered with fresh herbs, mint, and delicate floral notes.
On the palate, it feels round and zesty, delivering a spiced red plum and black cherry profile with hints of cedar, nutmeg, and oolong tea, all backed by bright acidity and lingering tannins. It’s an approachable yet complex wine with a dry, long finish that balances fruit and savory spice beautifully. While it has the energy and depth of a fine California red, it remains easy to drink and wonderfully balanced. Pair it with slow-cooked beef brisket or a flank steak for a satisfying, restaurant-quality meal at home.
