| Community Tasting Notes (average 88 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by whynblog on 9/27/2006 & rated 89 points: Decanted this wine on the advice of others. Very well structured wine. Many different berry flavors, blue, currant, wild on the nose. Very long finish with just the right balance of tannins. (2516 views) | | | Tasted by en_kierkegaa on 8/24/2005 & rated 87 points: Tight out of the box, give it 20 mins to settle and open up once you open it. Slightly sweet nose, maybe a hint of sprinkled cocoa. With some time you begin to get blackcurrant, plum, and a little raisin. Med to low tannins. Little bit of cherry and violets on the nose and palate. A little earthy on the finish. Good in many areas, but not great in any one area. Nose is the sweetest, best part. This is a solid, good wine, that softens and sweetens and finally raisins as you go. Nothing dissapointing here. Drink it now, enjoy it now! There simply aren't enough tannins to hold it beyond 2005. (2700 views) | | | Tasted by MarkC on 5/20/2005 & rated 88 points: Pretty decent wine. Blue/ruby color, medium extraction. Nose was fairly rich, with dark, black fruit, leather, and bits of anise. The palate was a bit of a letdown, especially considering I remember this being a much better wine 18 months ago. Attack mirrored the nose in flavors, but there was almost no mid-palate save some grapey flavors, and the finish kind of disappeared before it got going. 88 might be generous...

| Plumpjack Producer websiteSyrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. 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 |
