Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes

 Tasted by STSUPERY on 7/15/2009: Our Cabernet Franc ripened well, and without the pronounced herbaceousness that can vex overcropped or densely canopied Cab Franc vineyards. You can taste the plummy and dried-berry intensity of the fully ripe fruit in this wine. The medium-full body is enlivened by the right amount of tannin and acidity. Anise aroma from the fruit and cedar from French cooperage lend a dash of spice. Semi-sweet cocoa adds another point of interest, with woodsmoke at the fore in the warm
aftertaste. This is a delicious example of an uncommon and unique varietal wine. (156 views)

California Wines (Wine Institute of California)

California is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, with almost 100 grape varieties grown in almost 10 viticultural areas, including dozens of ­different microclimates and soil types, as well as a very individualistic set of ­winemakers, many with international experience, which adds to and deepens that diversity.
