Catching up on notes, nothing to add on this one. (1683 views) | | Tasted by Parnelli on 1/23/2013 & rated 88 points: As per previous notes. Enjoyed this bottle. (2507 views) | | Tasted by Parnelli on 1/13/2013 & rated 87 points: This wasn't as good as previous bottles, but still tasted fresh ... no brown tinges at all. Just wasn't as balanced as previous bottles. (2232 views) | | Tasted by calibrett on 12/23/2012 & rated 88 points: I'm a big fan of Cole Ranch fruit ... this one does not disappoint. Has the bright fruit and baseline complexity of a lot of the more sophisticated Esterlina vintages from this appellation, but at a fraction of the price. Gets my voite for a great daily drinker. And definitely a crowd pleaser at a party for the normal audience ... (2341 views) | | Tasted by Parnelli on 12/13/2012 & rated 88 points: Nice solid blend that still has good color, nose and taste. I'm not sure why they aren't making it any more ... it's good stuff! (2367 views) | | Tasted by Parnelli on 12/5/2012 & rated 88 points: This is tasting very well right now. Nice dark red fruit on the nose and palate, nice acidity and tannins with a medium finish. (1035 views) | | Tasted by Schaeferr on 11/27/2012 & rated 87 points: Great everyday drinker. Nice nose of vivid red fruits--cherries and strawberries. The palate is full of fruits, but not sweet. The wine has a nice finish with a bit of pepper that shows up on the back end.

| 2007 Diablita Red WineAlcohol: 14.9% Product Bottling Date: 3/2/2011 pH: 3.86 TA (g/L): 6.15Red 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 Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma CountySonoma Coast |
