| Community Tasting Notes (average 83.2 pts. and median of 84 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by pkbowen on 7/23/2014 & rated 69 points: This wine had a medicinal cherry and licorice nose which wasn't too bad, but the taste was really, really unpleasant to us. It had some chemically quality that made it seem like fruity bathroom cleaner. The synthetic cork had quite a bit of sediment on it (strange for a 2010...), but the wine itself didn't taste damaged. Just not good.
This was the second wine in memory that we actually dumped down the sink. (4097 views) | | | Tasted by Astjerne on 11/28/2013 & rated 85 points: Good value. (4882 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 8/15/2013 & rated 84 points: Aromas of sweet cherries, red licorice and rose petals, a little bit of pepper. Medium-bodied and tangy acid, lots of bright cherry and raspberry with notes of caramelized sugar, red licorice and soft toast. A fun, easy-drinking style. (5307 views) | | | Tasted by Zweder on 11/12/2012 & rated 79 points: Weekly tasting group #051; Bordeaux blends (By me @ BD): Transparent CS….. Vegetal bouquet with strawberries. Green and vegetal on the palate as well. Some sweetness and menthol, soft tannin and the alcohol shows quite much. Tragic Cabernet Sauvignon.

| Concannon Vineyard Producer website
Concannon Vineyards was founded in 1883 in Livermore, California and is a registered historical site. They were the first to bottle a varietal petite sirah in 1961. Owned by conglomerate The Wine Group, the Concannon family, including patriarch Jim Concannon, is still involved in running the winery, which produces several tens of thousands of cases a year.Cabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonUSAAmerican 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
