Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 90.9 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 7 notes)

 Tasted by slvrfish on 9/21/2009 & rated 95 points: paired perfectly with braised short ribs and truffle fries (506 views)
 Tasted by amateurwino on 9/8/2009 & rated 90 points: Recent TNs, mostly CA cabs; 9/7/2009-9/28/2009 (New York): Lots of chalky slate on the nose, slight barnyard, rich red currant fruit. Palate is a bit simpler - sweet red fruit with decent acidity, oak apparent . Not quite worth the $$. Would like to see it in 5 yrs though. 90-91 (560 views)
 Tasted by gorm on 6/7/2009 & rated 92 points: Mature blackcurrants, minty herbal notes, cedre tree, a bit of chocolate, dust and gravel. Good concentration and nice balance with fine tannins. Not huge, but easy to like. (707 views)
 Tasted by Wolfgang on 5/16/2009 & rated 88 points: Nose of forrest floor after a rain, garden herbs, evolves to dark chocolate. medium body with smooth tannins. (711 views)

About red wine
Varietal character (Appellation America) [Requires a subscription payment for information.]
WineAmerica (National Association of American Wineries) | Free the Grapes!
California Wines (Wine Institute of California)

California is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, with almost 100 grape varieties grown in almost 10 viticultural areas, including dozens of ­different microclimates and soil types, as well as a very individualistic set of ­winemakers, many with international experience, which adds to and deepens that diversity.
