| Community Tasting Notes (average 83 pts. and median of 83 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by chrwhite on 4/17/2009 & rated 85 points: We followed the Tiger Mountain Norton with the Cab Franc. This also happens to be my first time tasting Cab Franc. Garnet purple with red brick color on the ring (same as the Norton; it looked just the same in the glass). This wine featured a nose of cherry, slight strawberry, floral notes, and a little spiciness. The spice really hits you on the palate with black pepper. You also get red fruit and a touch of vanilla. A short finish added some oak to the flavors you get on the palate. I thought this was a nice, balanced wine. A little bland, but it had an elegance to it. I thought the spice interacted nicely with the fruit on the palate, although most of the people who I drank this wine with felt the pepper was too overwhelming. Due to the $23/bottle price tag I probably wouldn't buy, but I definitely enjoyed it, and look forward to seeing how favorably it compares to Cab Franc from more traditional growing regions.

| Tiger Mountain Vineyards Producer web siteCabernet 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.Georgia Winegrowers Association of Georgia | Georgia Wine Country |
