Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 90.8 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by seg424 on 4/6/2024: Early oak notes quickly melded into the box, which is best described as brambly red and blue fruits lying in a soft bed of balsamic wild greens with a drizzle of brown sugar. (91 views)
 Tasted by tadams66 on 12/5/2023 & rated 91 points: Solid wine. Very nice finish. The Merlot gives it approachability and wonderful dark fruit up front. But has a nice structure to match (261 views)
 Tasted by ChopperWine on 2/2/2023 & rated 92 points: Really a great everyday dinner wine. Super QPR. 60% Merlot, 20% each Cab Sauv. and Cab Franc. Truly a nice blend with a lot of cooked red fruit, herbs and a touch of spice along with medium tannins. Not too sweet and seemingly versatile enough to go with many types of food. Well done. (757 views)
 Tasted by Dozhdbog on 4/17/2022 & rated 92 points: We enjoyed this wine with a porcini/pancetta pasta. It complemented the meal very well. Decanted for 30 minutes. Floral and herbal notes on the nose, cassis and raspberry on the palate, finishes with nicely structured tannins. (814 views)
 Tasted by bigbass250 on 2/18/2022: very nice had at dinner at La Campania in Waltham at the waiter Angelo's suggestion (896 views)
 Tasted by vitroman on 2/17/2022 & rated 90 points: Liked this wine, was much better the second day as it opened up. I would definitely buy this again. (859 views)
 Tasted by Dozhdbog on 2/12/2022 & rated 91 points: Took an hour and a half to open up. Nose of violets and cassis. Black berries, and hot, dry fields. Tight, grippy tannins. Hints of tobacco, licorice, and pepper. I can sense the pure deliciousnesss just out of reach. It needs a few more years. (709 views)

Red Bordeaux Blend

Red 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.
