I love Stags Leap AVA and much of this is from estate vineyards. We decided to pull this wine to serve with our beef short ribs because the community had 2022 as a drink by date. This wine is alive and healthy and good for at least another three years (assuming proper cellaring of course). Super balanced and tannins that have thinned but are still present. Deep red with a tinge of orange on the rim but no evidence of being over the hill on the palette. Nice dark fruit with an awesome finish. I wish I had a cellar full of this but it is my last bottle. If you still have this, consider yourself lucky and …… drink it with braised short ribs!!!!

Nose has dark fruit. Palate is still showing plum, black currant and a hint of coconut. Lots of sediment which seems typical for pine ridge. Overall, delicious.

Loooong finish. Holding another year or two for the rest (2216 views) |
| Pine Ridge Vineyards Producer websiteRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.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)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
