These are the first releases from Kimsey, and they are impressive. Winemaker Matt Dees has turned out a set of gorgeous and hugely promising Rhône-inspired reds. Vineyard guru Ruben Solorzano planted the Ballard Canyon property in 2006. Given the age of these vines there is every reason to think there is plenty of future upside here. As good as the 2012s are, the 2013s may be even better. There is little doubt Kimsey is one of the most exciting new wineries in Santa Barbara County.
