Googling Kissy Fish, I can only find tidbits. The white seems to be “primarily Gewurtztreminor” with a bit of Riesling, but I couldn’t find anything about the Rouge blend.
Given that this is an mystery blend red and a mostly Gewürztraminer 2009 white, I think it’s safe to assume these wines are for current consumption: intended to be drunk yesterday if not sooner. The winery is pretty clear these are everyday drinkers.

50 minutes, one sale, very little information.
The CT links were pretty weak (but thanks for grabbing them Cesare)
Whats The Drinking Window on this stuff? Anybody got any tasting notes? Can anyone say anything about this wine?

Hi! Both wines are ready to drink now but the rouge will last a number of years more (our red wines, most generally, are good for a decade). It’s Pinot noir, Syrah, and Tempranillo–an auspicious blend! The blanc is mostly Gewurztraminer with a bit of Pinot gris and Pinot blanc and is finished with a touch of residual sugar. Hope this helps!

define…touch…like in a good way or a CLOYing type way?

For us here at Lange Estate mouthfeel and finish are high priorities, which is to say that there’s sufficient acid balance to avert the cloying effect.
