| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.4 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by meatbomb013 on 10/31/2020 & rated 93 points: For once I listened to my own advice and let this one rest for a good amount of time in the cellar. I last had this in 2010 and suggested patience was needed.
The fierce tannins that were present in 2010 have mellowed and are all but absent. Still very youthful in appearance. Blackberry and anise dominate with hints of dark chocolate and forest floor. Finish is long and pleasing. Guess that this will in a great spot for a few more years although I don't think that it will necessarily get much better.

There are better values for the money. (2866 views) | | | Tasted by ldluttrell on 7/12/2013 & rated 93 points: Excellent, holding very well, well balanced and a delight to drink. (2740 views) | | | Tasted by yellowbird on 4/30/2012: Frazier Cab continues to be a big, bold wine with berries on the nose and chocolate and blackberry in the glass. It's a heavy wine meant to be consumed with a great meal. 2006 was no exception - great with duck. (3389 views) | | | Tasted by meatbomb013 on 6/3/2010 & rated 86 points: Need to wait on this one a few years. Decent dark fruit in the background but the tannis predominate at this time. (3490 views) | | | Tasted by meatbomb013 on 2/8/2010 & rated 87 points: Had with Grilled Filet. Typical Cali cab nose. Tannic with a nice background of dark fruit. A nice wine but a poor QTPR at $54 per (1928 views) |
| Frazier Producer websiteCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonEstateIn the United States, "Wines with “estate bottled” designations must: a) also designate an appellation of origin or an AVA, and both the vineyards and the winery must be located there; b) the grapes must come from vineyards owned or controlled by the winery; and c) the wine must have been produced, from crush to bottle, in a continuous process without leaving the winery’s premises."
- WINE LABEL FAQS: A QUICK SUMMARY OF LABEL DESIGNATION RULES" by David E. StollUSAAmerican 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 |
