Gorgeous new wines by Saint K.

Saint K

July 6, 2022

For years I have admired the boutique producers of Paso Robles. These are typically wines that are well-priced and offer considerable value. Saint K Wines proprietor and winemaker Chris Kiranbay grew up in the Middle East and has a longstanding history in the wine industry. A trip to Napa inspired a move across country to California. Chris worked a harvest there and visited Paso Robles back in 2010. Working in fine dining, as well as a wine brokerage, he began working for Herman Story Wines in 2013, and subsequently began making some of his own wines. His style echos that of Herman Story, as they are unabashedly big, with bright acidity holding everything in place.

I love the new 2021 Saint K ‘Around the Way’ Rose (OB, 92) which shows a sinfully good texture and seriously good weight. 2021 Saint K ‘Flower Bomb’ Malvasia Bianca (OB, 93) which is beautifully floral on the nose, with vibrant acidity and a soft mouthfeel. Learn more about this fantastic boutique winery at https://www.burkewine.com and here are my reviews of the great new Saint K wines. 

2021 Saint K ‘Flower Bomb’ Malvasia Bianca- The very fragrant ‘Flower Bomb’ shows off gorgeous star jasmine and lemon blossom tones that combine with honeycomb and melon fruits on the nose. The palate is polished and lithe with a generous mouthfeel. Finishing very long, with loads of mouth-watering acidity, this is gorgeous Malvasia to consume now and over the next five to seven years. Drink 2022-2028- 93

2021 Saint K ‘Around The Way’ Rose- Made from Pinot Noir grapes, this vibrant Rose from the 2021 vintage opens with damp earthy tones alongside guava and cranberry notes. Very soft and inviting on the mouth, this shows gorgeous length and a gorgeous purity of red fruits on the palate. Drink 2022-2028- 92

2020 Saint K ‘Days Gone By’ Red Wine- The 2020 Saint K ‘Days Gone By’ is a blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The red and black floral notes on the nose really entice, as creosote, leather and smoked meats all combine on the nose. Very fresh once on the mouth, the combination of bright acidity and weight really makes this beautiful wine sing. Gorgeous to consume now in its tension-filled youth, enjoy over the next eight to ten years. Drink 2022-2028- 93
