Previous Vintage Tasting Notes

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 95 points!

"The 2007 The Creator is made up of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Cayuse Cailloux Vineyard and 40% Syrah from the Morrison Lane Vineyard. A bit reticent aromatically, it gives up aromas of smoke, Asian spices, incense, mineral, black currant and blueberry. Structured, spicy, and full-flavored on the palate, this lengthy effort will develop for another 4-5 years and provide prime drinking from 2013 to 2027."

Mind blowing intensity of flavor, made from fruit sourced from the famous stone and gravel vineyard of Cayuse Winery. Although best known for their Syrah, K Vintners is making quite the name for its Merlot, Grenache, and even its Pinot noir! This is a huge wine, a blend of Southern European varietals, Syrah, Grenache, Tempranillo, and more. The label is white, simply says "The Boy". The back label says:

"I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility" - Serge Gainsbourg

One of those wines that everyone grabs to have more of- big fight at the store over who got to take the leftovers home on this one. Yumm.
