Drink up my friends. C'était ma dernière du Blend 7. (799 views) | | | Tasted by SyraCab on 8/30/2017: Encore très bon. Il me reste une bouteille du B7 et je vais attendre une année ou deux avant de la réessayer. L'acidité et les tannins y sont encore. (1486 views) | | | Tasted by SyraCab on 12/23/2015 & rated 90 points: Versé en carafe à fond plat, laissé décanté durant 2 heures. Le vin est beaucoup plus souple qu'il y a un ans. Les arômes sont de fruits mûrs, de cerises noires, de fumée, de vanille, arômes subtiles de réglisse noire. Le vin vieillit très bien. Ça sera une par année, pour les 4 prochaines années.

Vanilla teste way too present (2721 views) | | | Tasted by MC2 Wines on 2/3/2015: This was a pretty awful wine - the type of wine where I just opted not to choke down more than a few sips. Super overextracted fruit with just crazy amounts of sugar. It was like drinking pixie stix mixed with artificial fruit juice. There was no balancing acidity or tannin to support. No other flavors. I'd avoid. Ordered off the by the glass menu at Bobby Van's and waiter did not steer me correctly. Wonder when ppl talk about the Caymus 40 being a fruit bomb if it's as bad as this.

(2047 views) | | | Tasted by Crystal on 11/17/2014 & rated 88 points: Nice suprise. As another reviewer said...well integrated. (1798 views) | | | Tasted by reddart on 10/7/2014 & rated 89 points: At PNP, the oak monster was in full attack (and I tend to like oak). The next day, and over the next few days of slow ox, the oak integrated well. Full bodied, aroma of fruits and a little earth, and a decent med+ finish with smooth tannins. Drinking well now, just be aware of the oak at first. (1531 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 10/1/2014: Coffee Pinotage. More red fruit on the back. With RS. (1075 views) | | | Tasted by M. D. Van Norman on 8/10/2014 & rated 86 points: A nice cross-vintage blend. Assertive fruit up front followed by a rich finish but concluding with some sour notes. (943 views) | | | Tasted by wayne47 on 7/13/2014: Delightful $15 blend. Went back and bought a case.

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
