| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.6 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 19 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by AMG4RPM on 10/6/2022 & rated 79 points: Extremely odd wine, not corked, but a nose of Sherwin-Williams enamel paint, persistent after an hour decant. Not a pleasing wine in ant aspect. Bottle stored in temp control cellar since new (wine club). Not at all representative of Pruett wines. (200 views) | | | Tasted by Castle Peak on 9/18/2015 & rated 93 points: Wine of the night. True fruit bomb, but not over heated. Rich, velvety and round. Textures, flavors and tannins in perfect balance and harmony. (887 views) | | | Tasted by BigTex22 on 2/26/2015 & rated 90 points: Maybe my palate is shifting, but I found this bottle to be simple. Good, but simple. Still lots of fruit, but not much tannins. Enjoyable and should cellar easily for 5+ more years, but not the complexity I now tend to look for in wines. GOOD. (938 views) | | | Tasted by Castle Peak on 3/16/2014 & rated 93 points: Crowd pleaser of the night over the 2011 vintage of Lucky Lauren, Keplinger 09 Sumo and a 2010 Hall Cab. Lots of fruity velvet and rich berry flavors. Some nutmeg, baking spice, leather and toasty vanilla. Near perfect balance. (1148 views) | | | Tasted by BigTex22 on 11/2/2013 & rated 94 points: This is a really special wine that has flown under the radar. Fantastic nose and fruit, consistent with first bottle. I'll sit on the next few - interested in how it ages. EXCELLENT. (1241 views) | | | Tasted by Castle Peak on 10/27/2013 & rated 94 points: Bright, fruit forward and elegantly rich. Textures are smooth and velvety, with a hint of oak to provide a near perfect balance. Picked up a wonderful cinnamon and nutmeg note on the mid-palate. This wine is in a great place right now. (1137 views) | | | Tasted by BigTex22 on 5/10/2013 & rated 94 points: Splash decanted. Nice fresh nose, new world Rhone style wine. Smooth mouthfeel, good fruit, well balanced with no real tannins to speak of. Had with cold pork loin, cheese, and crackers. This is a really nice wine, and better than many 2-3X the price. Highly recommend. EXCELLENT. (816 views) | | | Tasted by cmaldoon on 4/13/2013 & rated 92 points: The oddest but very deep palate of navel orange and blood orange and sweet cherry. Hints of oak layer the back end and the wine very slowly fades into candied orange peel on the finish. (975 views) | | | Tasted by StageOneRacing on 4/3/2013 & rated 90 points: Lots of bold fruit but well balanced (674 views) | | | Tasted by Castle Peak on 2/20/2013 & rated 93 points: Dark, rich and warm, with layers of ripe black and red cherries, chocolate, spice, smoke and red cedar. Bottomless and well balanced. Tannins are thick and velvety. Yummy. (574 views) |
| Pruett Vineyards producer websiteRed Blend.USAAmerican 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 Sierra FoothillsAmadorSierra FoothillsEl Dorado |
