Kings Garden Vineyards - (August 2016) They are about dry wines.
I started with the 2013 chardonnay, which was barrel fermented. It had a soft oak aroma, a hint of sweetness, possible from a fruit, and a subtle buttery finish. My wife liked it but was not thrilled
as she tasted the oak. While I tried the reds, she was given a taste of Royal Pain, a sweet white
blend (not part of the tasting menu).
As a treat, I was given a taste of the 2012 Merlot, deep in color, soft oak aroma, berry flavor on the
palate and a smooth finish which lingered. I asked my wife to try it and she liked it. I was then able to try, side‐by‐side, the 2011 and 2012 cabernet franc. The 2011 was full‐bodied while the 2012 was similar, but less tannic; it still had bite. I finished off with the 2011 cabernet sauvignon and the 2013 syrah.
