Château L'Evangile

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Took a minute for this to open up, but when it did, it was fantastic. Fruits kept some boldness, but still had some earthiness in there. Great velvety mouth feel. @Mes Amis with Tara, Bo & Kevin — 4 years ago

Tara Bella Winery & Vineyards

Estate Russian River Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

A small-production Russian River Cabernet that has enough layered fruit to be an enjoyable drinker, with enough complexity and richness to keep it from being boring.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Grapes from Tara Bella’s estate vineyard in Russian River Valley, Sonoma. Vineyard is planted entirely to Cabernet Sauvignon, specifically Clone 4/Mendoza and Clone 7/Wente.
No published professional ratings or oak regime info.
Ripe raspberry, blueberry, black cherry, cassis, eucalyptus, cocoa, mocha, and rich oak.
I love Tara Bella and have found opinions tend to diverge strongly.

Viña Ventisquero

Tara Atacama Chardonnay 2017

Omigosh if you can get some Ventisquero please do. This is yet another if their fabuuuuu offerings. Heady and full but it has a halo. It levitates. It gives you what for at the same time as a massage. Which sounds like an abusive relationship but this wine has figured out how to push your buttons in the right way. — 6 years ago

Kita

Camp 4 Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Kitá, red blend, Santa Ynez Valley, CA, Vintage 2014, ABV 13.5%. The blend is comprised of 48% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Franc, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot. @kitawines

👁 It had a beautiful purple hue and vibrant notes of black cherry, blackberry, black currant, plum, violets, cedar, nutmeg, vanilla, leather, and tobacco. 👃 👄

I loved learning about the background on this wine and winemaker Tara Gomez, who studied enology with financial help from her tribe, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. 💕 Tara has worked with iconic figures in the California wine world — such as Fess Parker and J. Lohr— and has traveled the world, honing her own unique style of winemaking that blends the best of old world and new world techniques. 👏👏👏 @tgomez805

This red blend is made of grapes grown on the Camp 4 Vineyard, purchased by the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians in 2010, when Tara was hired as head winemaker. 🍇🍇 The land was previously cultivated by Fess Parker, who had an influence on Tara’s budding career while interning at Fess Parker Winery during her enology studies.

The word "Kitá" means "Our Valley Oak" in the Santa Ynez Chumash native language of Samala. The wine is speaks to “place” and respect for the land from which it is cultivated. 🌎 🌳 Yields and production are kept small to promote sustainable growing practices and the grapes are harvested by hand and vinified with minimal intervention.
