Opened to drink with dinner and was greeted with a nicely balanced combination of power and finesse. Not exceptional, but a very pleasurable wine for Tuesday night.

Palate: Salty mid, dry finish, piney forward with mellow blackberry hints. (2859 views) | | | Tasted by brigcampbell on 10/9/2010 & rated 91 points: The first thing to jump out at you is the nose, huge raspberry/strawberry jam, really very enticing.
Tastes of dark fruit, oak, jam, and plenty of structure without the potential sweet/fruit bomb the nose may lead you to believe. Finish medium/+. All around well balanced wine.
The blend of this wine is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Syrah. (3035 views) | | | Tasted by KHILL on 12/19/2009 & rated 93 points: Very Nice Blend (3207 views) |
| Boyd Producer website2006 Boyd Cuvée Big Ranch VineyardThe blend of this wine is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Syrah.Red 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) |
