WSI96+ The 2017 blend of Checkerboard Kings Row is deliciously aromatic. The nose is fresh, with hints of sweet and juicy fruits that are augmented by dark roast coffee. On the palate, the fruits swirl together with baking spices, green olive, and graphite in a wine soft on tannins but long on finish. 85% CS, 7.5% ME, 7.5% PV
Kings Row remains an expression of the Aurora Vineyard. Produced from the same meticulously crafted wine lots that go into Checkerboard Aurora Vineyard, Kings Row is blended to be enjoyed earlier than our single vineyard wines. On harvest mornings, whole berries are hand-selected on the sorting table and fermented in wood barrels and stainless tank, without crushing, to capture the fruit’s intensity and to create wines with approachable tannins. The resulting 2017 Checkerboard Kings Row wine is delicious, juicy, and a stunning value. 300 cs produced.
