NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Kunin Pape Star Red is a full-bodied, robust, and intense red blend.Aromas of ripe blackberry, cherry, and cassis mingle with smoky earth, black tea, and a hint of anise. On the palate, bold tannins are balanced by dark fruit flavors and a subtle hint of oak. The finish is long and lingering, with a touch of sweet spice. Enjoy this excellent example of a California red blend with a hearty steak or mushroom-based dishes.

ORIGINS
Winery: Kunin
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
