K Vintners 2020 The Creator

K Vintners 2020 The Creator is a bold, expressive Syrah from Washington State, crafted under the singular vision of Charles Smith to showcase power, purity, and regional character. The 2020 growing season delivered ripe, concentrated fruit with vibrant acidity. Grapes from select vineyard sites are fermented with native yeasts and often see extended maceration to extract deep color, structure, and rich phenolics. The wine is typically aged in a mix of French oak barrels and seasoned vessels, allowing the intense fruit to integrate with savory spice and to develop layered complexity while maintaining a racy, energetic profile.

Tasting Notes:
Aromas of blackberry, black pepper, smoked plum, and dark chocolate are layered with hints of violet, garrigue, and cracked pepper. The palate is powerful yet refined, delivering concentrated dark fruit framed by firm, velvety tannins and lively acidity. Notes of espresso, bacon fat, and spice build through the mid-palate, leading to a long, resonant finish that captures The Creator’s signature depth, intensity, and unwavering sense of place.
