| Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by brokenstones on 7/13/2013 & rated 89 points: We may have held this bottle just a tad too long, though it is still opening up so we may be surprised yet. When it was young it was heavy with dark purple fruit, and it has aged well It has become less robust and more sophisticated.
The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Fig, Black currant (cassis), and White Pepper, though as it opens the fruit dissipates. It tastes like and Black currant, slightly tart, with a slight note of pencil lead. The body is Medium/Full.

Possibly not stored all that well or these just need to be drank up.

| Outpost Producer websiteZinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelUSAAmerican 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)Howell Mountain Howell Mountain |
