2019 Kunde Meritage 202, Destination Series, Sonoma Valley
90 Points, Wine Spectator
Double Gold, 2024 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
Tasting Notes
The 2019 Meritage 202 is a full-bodied red blend that pays homage to the winery’s original bonded number ‘202’ given to patriarch Louis Kunde in the 1900s. The blending of five Bordeaux varieties forms a distinct nose of plum, currants and anise. Its heady bouquet is enhanced by opulent, full-mouth flavors of black cherry and dried cranberries.
Winemaking Notes
We chose to really focus on the luscious fruit from a plentiful but ripe harvest. Soft and silky tannins are pushed forward as a showcase to support the dominant flesh of the mixed berries of the vintage. Based on the highly integrated tannins and bright acid structure, this one screams holiday meal — turkey doused with gravy or pot roast!

At Kunde Family Estate, our winemaking mission is to craft elegant wines with a real sense of place—beautifully balanced and expressive of our dramatic vineyard landscape.
For over a century, five generations of the Kunde Family have farmed our 1,850 acre-estate in the heart of Sonoma Valley—a truly remarkable legacy in the modern age of California winemaking. A fervent, forward-thinking vision of land stewardship and sustainability began over one hundred years ago, and has been shaped with each successive generation.
Today, Kunde Family Estate is still family owned and operated with a hands-on team of 4th and 5th generation family members at the helm. At the end of the day, every decision we make, every wine we craft, and every experience we provide honors the legacy of founder Louis Kunde, who emigrated from Germany and purchased the original Wildwood Vineyards ranch at the turn of the century in 1904. Cresting the second century was a profound milestone for the family. Moving forward, we remain committed to innovation and state-of-the-art facilities, while also maintaining a deep, personal commitment to sustainable winegrowing and preserving the land for generations to come.
