Ripe and soft tannins, good balance.
It went well with ribs. (267 views) | | | Tasted by jishmael on 3/19/2020 & rated 93 points: Opened this one to pair w/ a farfalle with roasted red pepper sausage. The Dodd is always a winner and this one was no exception. Roughly an hour to open up once decanted and had a real Chateauneuf essence to it w/ that barnyard aroma. Although towards the end of the window, just fantastic. Waiting to crack the 11' and 12' that I'm still holding.

Was beginning to look a little brickish in color but was still very good. Hard to compare as it's 53% tannat. We give it a 90.

Initial flavors of dark fruit transition smoothly to chocolate mousse and leather all supported by soft tannins to a long finish… This wine is delicious either as a sipping wine or with food. (706 views) | | | Tasted by VinoPKM on 8/8/2015 & rated 92 points: Same feeling that I had 2 years ago- damn tasty BBQ and food friendly wine. Drank with homemade 5 peppers, onions, cheese and bacon enchiladas (red sauce). Good wine that holds up with the spice. Tannins are more resolved and a great wine. (824 views) | | | Tasted by VinoPKM on 9/28/2013 & rated 92 points: Wow- drank better than I remember. A Tannat, Zin, Petite Verdot and Cab blend- sounds crazy, but they all play off each other well. Definitely can use more time- but with air this is a great steak wine right now. Dark fruits & pepper -the tannins are there but the fat of my steak help cut them. Glad I have another bottle and highly recommend.
Neil is just killing it with his wines at Lone Madrone. I like his freedom here vs. Tablas. (1153 views) |
| Lone Madrone 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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
