| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.6 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by gjv115 on 3/21/2010 & rated 94 points: Poured through a venturi, then decanted for two hours. On first taste was very good with a typical Napa flavor profile. A little tight still, but delicious.
Hour 4 after opening it was singing. Not much on the nose, but the fruit was coming through very brightly, the oak had subsided, everything was in balance, and it was heavenly. It's been a while since I had a wine I enjoyed that much.
By hour six t was still good but beginning to fade. Wish I had more. (1362 views) | | | Tasted by ScubaSommelier on 12/21/2009 & rated 91 points: Very nice with hints of lemon and orange. Be careful on pairing due to tannins in this wine. (1553 views) | | | Tasted by keberhar68 on 4/3/2009 & rated 90 points: One my favorites!

| Mount Veeder Winery Producer websiteCabernet 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)Mt.
