A versatile take on France’s Chateauneuf-du-Pape the Pape Star Rouge remains a fan favourite for its medium-bodied weight, elegant texture and versatility when it comes to pairing wine and food.
Seth Kunin, a transplanted New Yorker, first arrived on the west coast to work in California's fine dining scene, where he fell in love with wine and ended up quitting the restaurant business.
After several years working for other producers, he set his sights on producing a range of wines…
A medium ruby-purple colour and luscious perfume of crushed red and black berries with touches of blueberries, mint leaves, blood orange peel, turned earth and aniseed. Medium-bodied, it's silky and juicy, packed with sweet berry fruits and finishing long and perfumed.
A blend of 37% Grenache, 34% Mourvèdre, 25% Syrah and 4% Carignan.
Kunin Wines was started in 1998 by Seth Kunin, with an initial focus Syrah, Zinfandel and Viognier.
Pairs brilliantly with roasted or spiced Moroccan-style dishes, or a hearty beef stew.
"The 2018 Syrah is fresh, vibrant and wonderfully nuanced. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, leather and rose petal give the 2018 terrific vibrancy and nuance. The 2018 is so pure and delicious." Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, 93 pts
This light and easy-to-drink Viognier is a classic example of the excellent wines produced by Seth Kunin's team in Santa Barbara. An excellent value Viognier!
Bright, zippy Chenin Blanc from Kunin, sourced from Jurassic Park Vineyard - one of Santa Barbara's oldest sites. The wine is bottled unfiltered and no sulphites are added, the result is a wild and unique wine with refreshing flavours that draw you in after each sip.
