| Community Tasting Notes (average 85 pts. and median of 85 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by Steve Jones on 10/30/2007 & rated 85 points: I liked this wine. A bit of perfumed soapy youth in the nose. A full flavored cab wih a medium finish. Flavors a little coarse an dirty- resembled a youthful bordeaux. Nicely done for $10. Grown and made organically by DnA Vineyards. (1042 views) |
| Trader Joe's Producer website
For all wines labeled 'Trader Joe's' on the front label, Cellartracker has adopted a policy of consistency with Producer = Trader Joe's.
The technical producer is usually listed at the bottom of the back label. Some producers listed are actual wineries with other own-branded wines and others are not. This producer within a particular label designation could change between vintages (and even within.) In order to provide information and make the wines easier to find, that producer name has been made a hidden search term for those wines.
Appellation also matters a lot with differentiating Trader Joe's wines.
Below is a list of the producer attached to particular Trader Joe's wine labels. Feel free to edit and/or amend as needed.

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 North CoastThe North Coast American Viticultural Area (AVA) in California, covering more than three million acres, includes Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake counties, and portions of Marin and Solano counties.
