Kivelstadt Cellars was founded on our love of amazing California vineyards. After leaving a career in consulting, Jordan Kivelstadt traveled the world making wine in California, Australia, Chile, and Argentina.
For his inaugural vintage in 2007, Jordan made 125 cases of Syrah from his family’s estate vineyard. He drew inspiration both from his new world experiences and for European cuisine, art, and culture. Our focus is exploring incredible California vineyards with a nod toward the rich history and balance of old-world wines.
70% Mourvedre & 30% Syrah. The Mourvèdre and Syrah were fermented and aged separately then blend together prior to bottling. 100% of grapes were left whole cluster, then the wine was blanketed with CO2 and held at cool temperatures for 8 days. This is a different approach, made in a “Vin de Soif” style. Look for blueberry with pepper spice notes. The palate is a little deeper than electric Kool-aid, it captures the true color of the deep red skins. Light body with tiny tannins, punctuated by acid that pulls everything through.
