| Community Tasting Notes (average 93.5 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by AGELVIS on 10/27/2023 & rated 95 points: Two hour decant. Very very deep magenta color. Dark chocolate, blackberry, cassis, powdered sugar beignet, anise, pressed violets, and apple cider. Dry palate, with nice, center of the tongue acidity. Firm tannins on the longish finish. (1032 views) | | | Tasted by Franken Berry on 10/13/2023 & rated 94 points: Out to dinner with The Cyclist and IAMANDYC. Drank this alongside the Covert cab franc. I thought both were similar in weight and tone. I gave this an hour in the decanter, then back into the bottle, so maybe open for about 90 minutes before first pour. Deep magenta color, bright blue fruits and violets on the nose. Rich, lush blueberry fruits, finishing with subtle oak, vanilla and cedar, which seems to be the signature style of Trespass. Dry palate, tightly integrated tannins. Nicely balanced. (1001 views) | | | Tasted by Geaux Tigers on 11/1/2022 & rated 92 points: PnP with a shake decant. A little reticent at first but improved with 30 min of air.
I could not keep my nose out of the glass — fresh evergreen and pine forest, baking spices, intense perfume.
Unfortunately the palate was subdued - a bit of candied dark fruit and that was about it.
Nose was a 94, palate was a 90.
Not much development over 2 hr of drinking. Likely user error for lack of a proper decant or more aging. (845 views) | | | Tasted by AGELVIS on 1/6/2022 & rated 95 points: Coravined. Deep dark magenta color. Blueberry, crème brûlée, and subtle roasted coffee on the nose. Very smooth, very dry palate, with vibrant acidity. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish.
My score is based somewhat on potential, as this is not yet in it’s drinking window. Fun tasting with Donny the owner at Venge Vineyards. (1333 views) | | | Tasted by davidandrose on 12/4/2021 & rated 92 points: 2.5 hour decant. Syrupy grip on the stems, the nose is dominated by oak and vanilla. More balanced on the palate, there’s young tannins and bright fruit.
As noted, this is a great expression of the varietal that will clearly benefit from another year or three of age. 92 today but this will add 2+ points in time. (721 views) | | | Tasted by Geaux Tigers on 11/24/2021 & rated 94 points: PnP and drank over 2 hrs. Open and ready from the start not much change with air. Racy and juicy, a simply lovely rendition of Cabernet Franc and one of my new favorites from Napa. Oak is very well managed letting black and red fruit shine through. (1010 views) | | | Tasted by Geaux Tigers on 6/14/2021 & rated 95 points: 2021 Napa - June 9-12: Simply outstanding, no hard edges, lovely fruit, floral profile. No green notes. Best in class! Rumors of Trespass making one of the best CF in Napa are indeed confirmed. (2451 views) |
| Cabernet Franc Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wines & Vines articleUSAAmerican 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)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
