| Community Tasting Notes (average 93 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Davimorrmd on 3/30/2024 & rated 93 points: Agree with others. Think there is still more time left to wait. The tannins still grainy and dry finish. Acid and fruit feel balanced. (337 views) | | | Tasted by Mbad77 on 1/27/2024 & rated 92 points: Interesting and wonder where it’s going as still young.
Some density and plenty of fruit.
Still quite grippy and tannic, couple of hours eases some of it but still feels fresher and lighter than perhaps it is.
Slight green elements in nose and finish like a Bordeaux blend. (471 views) | | | Tasted by dclaggett on 8/7/2020 & rated 94 points: 14.8% abv. Dark garnet purple color, light rim. Loads of red, black and blue berries, plums, good minerality, hints of initial sweetness then fades and finishes dry and juicy. Great structure, nice grainy tannins, quite long finish. Should drink well for a decade, or two. (1345 views) | | | Tasted by Giggs on 2/7/2020 & rated 94 points: Probably caught this in a closed phase, tons of acidity, pure fruit, presents like it will be longer lived than the 16 La Magdalena and 16 Oakville Cab. (1181 views) | | | Tasted by Lord of the Bottles on 10/30/2019 & rated 92 points: An evening with Annie Favia-Erikson in London: Floral notes on the nose and palate. Still somewhat closed but yielded green notes, red fruit, and a spicy mineral finish. Needs a few more years. Probably the best young red of the evening. (1436 views) |

| Favia Producer websiteRed Blend.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
