| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.7 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Scar510 on 2/19/2023 & rated 93 points: 2-19-23. Buccan. Really nice. Easy to drink. (277 views) | | | Tasted by Momus99 on 12/30/2022 & rated 88 points: Didn’t take detailed tasting notes. A good, solid, well-made wine but not justifying the stratospheric price. Good Tempranillo fruit oaked to within an inch of its life, but overall pleasant to drink. Still holding up wire well after 10 years. (304 views) | | | Tasted by KendraPM on 3/20/2016 & rated 92 points: Amazing how much temporanillo is in this blend. It is still a young wine and I wish we would have saved it longer to let the flavors mature more. But still nice, just not for the price. (2001 views) | | | Tasted by camben on 2/25/2016: Earthy and big (1843 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 11/18/2015: Very extracted and oaked Tempranillo. Wow, shockingly over priced at $100 or so. (2140 views) | | | Tasted by mflesh on 8/1/2015: Had 1/4 bottle via Coravin at a wine shop with just about zero time for aeration or decanting. Dark pour, almost black hue. The nose was blackberry cassis. The entry was pretty much the same. Did have a littlebit of that Atlas chalkiness, but VERY SLIGHT. Wine kind of died in the middle. Finished slightly tart, but mostly blackberrry and quite a bit of very stiff oak tannin kind of keeping the finish on this one at bay. Will be a nice wine in 1-2 years. (1870 views) | | | Tasted by camben on 4/11/2015: Loved this wine. Loaded with fruit purity and a great mineral note that runs directly through the mid palate. (1890 views) |
| Krupp Brothers Estates 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 Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Atlas Peak Atlas Peak Appellation Association |
