| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.7 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by ATIVA on 8/16/2014 & rated 91 points: Deep purple color. Rich and earthy/floral nose. Pomegranate and currant on the palette gives way to lavender and mild peppery finish. Smooth tannins and a touch of acidity. Drink now.

(2271 views) | | | Tasted by jlaws7lh on 9/15/2012 & rated 89 points: Very good wine after about an hour decant. Good value. Had with Greek Turkey burgers and it paired perfectly. (2294 views) | | | Tasted by costacasa on 5/4/2012 & rated 88 points: This opens fairly quickly. Dark purple color---petite sirah-like.Medium nose. Lots of dark fruit. Some spice. A bit of heat. Complex, full bodied.Better than average finish. A wonderful wine for almost any dish. I could easily have given this a 90, it has a lot of great components...but it is just a little out of synch.

On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce. 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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
