The wine held up remarkably these 11 years with a touch of deep red fruit remaining but plenty of tertiary interest to be found. Acid soft but still in check and fully integrated tannins to round things out. One of Amy Butler's wines... be sure to check out here Carignans under her Rancho Cellars label. (1346 views) | | | Tasted by merryberry on 5/2/2015 & rated 90 points: Brown-tinged dark ruby. Strawberry pie, oak, earth and spice nose. Full bodied, dirty raspberries, pepper, chocolate cherries, well integrated tannins, tobacco, sharp acid, and a long finish. Good with food and good without. Very nice wine.

(3429 views) | | | Tasted by Hubduc on 5/18/2013 & rated 92 points: With a little cellar time, this is becoming spectacular. Popped, poured, and enjoyed! (3351 views) | | | Tasted by merryberry on 5/7/2012 & rated 88 points: Slightly cloudy dark red. Strawberry, earth, and vanilla nose. Medium bodied, thickly spiced raspberries, chocolate cherries, white pepper, full grainy tannins, good acid, smokey tobacco, and a medium+ finish with a bit of pucker. This was good on day 1, but even better on day 2.

Medium-bodied, velvety with silky tannins, and dark cherry, raspberry, and vanilla spice flavors. Blend of Grenache (71%), Mourvèdre (16%), and Syrah(13%) Syrah (3913 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 3/25/2012 & rated 88 points: 2012 Rhone Rangers Grand Tasting: 151 Wines Rated (Festival Pavilion, Fort Mason, San Francisco, California): Medium dark cherry red color; brett, tart red berry nose; brett, tart berry palate; medium-plus finish (71% Grenache, 16% Mourvedre, 13% Syrah) (2156 views) | | | Tasted by valecnik on 12/13/2011 & rated 91 points: Classic California Rhone profile: ripe, round, smoky and brimming with dark red and blue fruits. Predominantly Grenache with some Mourvedre and Syrah. Solid beam of acidity makes for a nice backbone. Medium-to-full body with polished tannins. Hefty but not overwrought. Very drinkable and showing beautifully now. (2304 views) | | | Tasted by soyhead on 3/28/2010 & rated 88 points: Grand Tasting, SF, Rhone Rnagers

| Edward Sellers Vineyards and Wines Producer websiteRed Rhone Blend Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce. 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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
