K VINTNERS MOTOR CITY KITTY SYRAH 750 ml

Discover the allure of K Vintners Motor City Kitty Syrah, a bold red wine hailing from Washington's Walla Walla Valley. Nestled at the foot of the Blue Mountains, this winery welcomed visitors starting December 3, 2001, on a storied property homesteaded back in 1853. An adjacent farmhouse from 1872 stands nearby, while Titus Creek winds through the grounds, flanked by venerable trees planted by pioneers—a genuine nod to America's heartland heritage.

Behind the vision is Charles Smith, the proprietor and winemaker whose passion runs deep. Hailing originally from northern California, he spent 11 years in Scandinavia before settling in Walla Walla. His personal and professional journey with wine culminates here, driven by an unbridled enthusiasm for every sip.

K Vintners draws from two standout viticultural areas: Wahluke Slope and Walla Walla Valley. These regions shine distinctly for Syrah and field blends, yielding wines with exceptional character shaped by their unique terrains.

The 2019 Motor City Kitty Syrah earns rave reviews, including 98 points from James Suckling and 94 from Jeb Dunnuck. Sourced from a single block in Boushey Vineyard, it captivates with intricate layers. Scents of plums and black cherries mingle with leather, bark, and iron notes. On the palate, it delivers full body alive with subtle shifts—firm tannins that grip, echoes of dried roses and crushed blackberries woven into a deep mineral profile, accented by cocoa powder. Concentrated yet vibrant, it leaves a lingering buzz.

Equally compelling are its darker gamey black fruits, iron, ground pepper, black olives, and violets. Medium to full-bodied, this balanced gem echoes Northern Rhône styles, rich and poised for enjoyment now or cellaring ahead. At 14.50% ABV in a 750 ml bottle, it pours a dry profile ideal for savoring solo or alongside hearty meals.

Picture uncorking this Washington Syrah on a quiet evening, letting its dynamic complexity unfold. From the historic lawns of K Vintners to your glass, Motor City Kitty Syrah embodies rugged elegance and timeless appeal—perfect for those seeking a red wine that tells a story with every pour.
