(582 views) | | | Tasted by Sugarb on 6/27/2019 & rated 91 points: Decanted for 3 hours, glad I did so. Softer than I anticipated, with good notes of strawberry but nice heft from the Malbec. Interesting blend of the Merlot. I think I will enjoy this even more in another year, but a very pleasant drink now. (762 views) | | | Tasted by ecola on 11/8/2018 & rated 92 points: Elegant and soft on the palate. Red cherry, strawberry, and a little bit of smokiness. Medium body and smooth from start to finish. Drink now or over the next few years. (521 views) | | | Tasted by Collinsb1 on 7/9/2017 & rated 93 points: Balanced, smooth, amazing!

| Repris 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 Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyMoon Mountain DistrictEstablished in 2013, historic vineyards from the 1880’s
