Kokomo Winery is perched on the East side of Dry Creek Valley amidst the 120 acres of prime benchland vineyards of Timber Crest Farms. Owner and Winemaker Erik Miller started the winery in 2004 naming it after his hometown of Kokomo, IN. Kokomo Winery focuses their terroir-driven wines on the three distinctive appellations of Sonoma County - Russian River, Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys.
This Cuvée is a focused blend that is inspired by the wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape but with a Dry Creek twist. The dark and lush cherry notes on the nose and palate are characteristic of Dry Creek Valley Grenache. The Mourvèdre contributes hints of blueberry pie while the Zinfandel and field blend varieties round out the palette with some earth and spice. It has a medium body and fully integrated tannins which contribute to a plush and polished mouthfeel and a lingering silky finish.
