(698 views) | | | Tasted by mxpbuy on 10/11/2019 & rated 92 points: Overpriced but still quite good. Needed over an hour to come around. Overripe red fruits with some black fruits. Some hints of vanilla Oak and touch of veggies and spice. (1060 views) | | | Tasted by Pluecht on 9/3/2019 & rated 90 points: Drink now. (979 views) | | | Tasted by EpochMD on 5/26/2019 & rated 92 points: Nice work BA - extremely floral nose, lovely lilac and lavender, the body is medium and not as dark as I would like - but still very well balanced and enjoyable, they do CF right and at a really good price point. Lots of life left.

I question if the 2012 vintage will at all improve much less keep for another 4 years. (591 views) |
| Cabernet Franc Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wines & Vines articleUSAAmerican 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 |
