This was our “sleeper” find of the trip. Kynsi is a small, rustic winery, with a partially covered wine bar patio, and the rest is an open patio with views of the vineyards and surrounding hills. Pulling into the unpaved parking area and seeing nothing but hedges and rustic fencing, I wasn’t expecting much. It was about 45 minutes from closing and they totally welcomed us for a full tasting. Cassidy poured for us and couldn’t have been any nicer/friendlier, and willing to stay and take her time and not rush us through our tasting and other selections. A big part of my 5 star rating is due to her service. Of course, the wines were pretty darn tasty too!
WINE: We got to taste a nice variety, including a Pinot Blanc, a Pinot Noir Rose, a Pinot Noir, a “Nocturnum” Rhone style red blend (65% Grenache/35% Syrah), a Grenache, and a couple additional pours. We enjoyed everything we tasted and ended up taking home 5 bottles, including two different Pinot Noirs with fruit from different vineyards nearby.
Overall, the three of us really enjoyed Kynsi, and we’d definitely like to return and take a little more time to enjoy the patio and wines. Reading other reviews, I’d love to hang out and see the owls come out of the old barn at twilight. I highly recommend.
Really nice covered & shaded outdoor tasting area—looks like it’d be great on hot summer days. It’s early on a Friday afternoon, and the place is not busy at all—a few groups came in while we were there. The two people working the tasting room were great. We had a nice conversation, they were knowledgeable about the wines and the region, and made some suggestions of other tasting rooms we might like. Nancy enjoyed meeting the winery cats.
I know this is Pinot country, but I brought home a nice very-fruit-forward Grenache.
