Inconnu - Kitsune Red Blend

The “Kitsune Red Blend” is one of the brand’s red wines described as a “steakhouse wine”, inspired by right-bank Bordeaux blends, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Sourced from organically farmed vineyards in the Sierra Foothills (the merlot vineyard is CCOF certified, with no till farming being practiced).

Medium to full body (for a blend), leaning more elegant than over-extracted; balanced tannins and acidity, good finish.

Dark cherry, blackberry, spice, a hint of earth/forest floor, minerality coming through; consistent mentions of “silky mid-palate”.

Pairing profile, grilled steak, lamb chops, game meats, hearty mushroom-based dishes, roasted root vegetables with herbs; also pairs well with aged cheeses or charcuterie. The “steakhouse” descriptor is apt.
