Listen "SIP Virtual Wine Tasting and Q&A with Proprietor Kenny Kahn of Blue Rock Vineyard"
Episode Synopsis
On this week's SIP Virtual Wine Tasting we talked with Proprietor Kenny Kahn of Blue Rock Vineyard in Sonoma.
Traversing 46 acres, the hillside vineyard is planted to the five Bordeaux varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Malbec. In 1993, an additional three acres of Syrah were planted on an extreme hillside. The cool mornings and warm days that characterize the Alexander Valley allow Blue Rock’s Bordeaux varietals to develop clarity and finesse.
Blue Serpentine rocks populate the soil and create a unique growing medium. As a result, Blue Rock wines are intense yet balanced and with distinctive aromas and flavors.
Handcrafted on site, each vintage maintains its unique personality and charm without the interference of excessive oak or other winemaking techniques found in mass quantity production.
The estate winemaking traditions of Blue Rock are perhaps best summed up with the French term, terroir, which acknowledges the environmental factors that make the vineyard site unique including soil, weather, appellation, and to that effect, the human element as well.
During the interview we tasted Blue Rock Vineyard 2016 Best Barrels Cabernet Franc, it also happened to be Cabernet Franc Day!
