My #6, Group's #6 (68 pts). Tastes blind. (305 views) | | | Tasted by zheem on 2/8/2009: I enjoyed this more than previous notes suggest. It had a rustic power that, although not elegant, served very well as a "last bottle of the night after a late party hedonistic" wine. (1421 views) | | | Tasted by PatLee on 10/23/2006: Nice aeromatics with deep berry and some diesel. Some strawberry with acidity and strong tannins on the palette. Finish is a bit short initially. However, the wine really really opened up much more after an hour of air. Nose of strong berry and better fruit and acidity delination. Much more integrated than 6 months ago. Either decant for an hour or two or wait 6 more months to try again. (1696 views) | | | Tasted by thomaskeil on 4/29/2006 & rated 86 points: Had this alongside the '98 Coudoulet de Beaucastel and they were of similar quality, but quite different in their characteristics. This one was a bit darker in color. On the nose this was more primary and about big fruit that the CDR, which had much more interest aromatically and more focused mineral-driven palate. The addition of Grenache seems to have added a bright red berry aspect that no other Novy Syrah has. This one also lacks the meaty, smoke and spice notes and 'lushness' that the 100% Novy syrahs have. On night two I paired this with pizza and the freshness of the fruit and the somewhat sharp acidic edge made this a nice match. (1799 views) | | | Tasted by PatLee on 3/6/2006: Good aeromatics. Disappointing mid palette and finish. Too hot. (1904 views) |
| Novy Family 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 Sonoma CountyMendocino County |
