Kahn 2002 Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah (Santa Barbara County)

  1. $42
Shows more of a cool-climate influence than the regular Syrah with white pepper aromas and thick tannins. Has a rich melange of blackberry, plum, coffee and tobacco flavors that finish long and harmonious.  — S.H.  (5/1/2005)

Kahn 2000 Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah (Santa Barbara County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $38
Marginally richer and finer than Kahn’s Santa Ynez Syrah, with knock-your-sox off flavors of cherries and blackberries that flood the mouth. The tannins are quite thick and melted. Feels plush and velvety through the finish.  — S.H.  (12/1/2003)

Kahn 2002 Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)

  1. $30
A very good Syrah, full-bodied and warming, but dry. It shows dark stone fruit and cocoa flavors with a rich earthiness, and is soft enough to drink now.  — S.H.  (5/1/2005)

Kahn 1999 Syrah (Santa Barbara County)

  1. $29
Very nutty on the nose, with chocolate and carob notes reminiscent of trail mix. Medium- to full-bodied blackberry fruit lies at the core, but the focus is elsewhere: leather, cocoa, dried spices, coffee and peanut were among the descriptors tossed around by our panel.  — W.E.  (11/1/2001)

  1. $26
Richer and bigger in every way than Kahn’s regular Central Coast bottling. Brims with full-throttle flavors of blackberries and herbs dusted with white pepper, and the tannins are rich and fine. Loses a few points due to an astringent finish.  — S.H.  (12/1/2003)

Kahn 2001 Syrah

  1. $13
Plenty of ripe flavors here, ranging from black cherries and cocoa through coffee, sage and dill. The structure is simple, with easy tannins and supportive acids. Seems like a pizza sort of wine.  — S.H.  (12/15/2003)

Kahn 2001 Sauvignon Blanc (Santa Ynez Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $15
Rather soft and candied, a ripely fruity wine with semi-sweet Lifesaver flavors of lemon and lime. Feels a bit heavy in the mouth, lacking acidity and zest.  — S.H.  (10/1/2003)

Kahn 2001 Avelina Winery Merlot (Santa Ynez Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $15
Rustic and heavy, with berry-cherry flavors and some astringency through the finish. Tannins are pronounced and thick. Drinks like a country-style wine, although it has no flaws.  — S.H.  (12/1/2003)
