KOKOMO RED CUVEE 2023, North Coast, CA

The Petite Sirah really comes through on the finish, giving this Rhône-style blend a nice bold structure. Paired it with grilled lamb and it was a perfect match—deep berry fruit with just enough spice to keep things interesting.

Opened this after a long week and the deep berry fruit hit exactly right, with that subtle spice lingering on the finish. The Mourvèdre really shows through—it’s got a savory edge that makes it feel way more expensive than it is.

I was really impressed by how well the Grenache and Petite Sirah blend together in this wine, giving it a deep berry flavor with just a hint of spice. It's a perfect red for a cozy night in, and the complexity made it feel like a special occasion.
