I get blueberries up front. I really enjoyed this wine. Jada wines keep getting better and better with each vintage. (619 views) | | Tasted by rjt986 on 1/18/2020 & rated 91 points: Decanted for 2+ hours - during which the tannins softened nicely. Highly recommend standing this bad boy up for a day if possible. Unfiltered and could not get past the punt before sediment became too much. Typical highly extracted (15.9 ABV) Paso fruit-forward wine but with a solid backbone thanks to the Petit Vedot - as a result, my favorite of the Jada wines. Dark cherry on the nose, blueberry on the palate. IMO in a perfect place now with soft but noticeable tannins (post decant) and bright fruit. Still has a few more years if you insist and are the PnP type, but highly recommend breaking this out from storage sooner rather than later and enjoying over a long dinner after decanting. (649 views) | | Tasted by mpsocal on 1/25/2019 & rated 92 points: it’s a big wine. Nose of cedar with flavor blueberry and blackberry with a little spice on the finish. (776 views) | | Tasted by scott.schlesinger1@gmail.com on 2/25/2017 & rated 93 points: Dark inky purple, full bodied, dense, and creamy. Syrupy legs run down the sides of the glass.
Powerful aromas pour out of the bottle immediately. Blueberries, chocolate, coffee, mint.
On the palate, dark melted chocolate over blueberry pie, bananas, marshmallows, with caramel, mint, and pine.
Long finish, still very tannic and could be stored away for a few more years. Perfect with a steak on a snowy winter day.
60% Petite Verdot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot
15.9% alcohol (1504 views) | | Tasted by Wine Lover 1964 on 9/8/2015 & rated 91 points: Very nice red blend. Decanted 2 hours and had with grilled strip steak. Paired Well with steak. Dark purple in color with bright almost glowing pink hue on glass edge. Tannins and structure built for the long haul. Superb! (2323 views) | | Tasted by crushzone on 5/8/2015 & rated 90 points: A solid Verdot centric blend. An inky and leathery leathery Bordeaux blend that has you looking for a toothpick afterward. Not for the faint of heart fru fru wine drinker. This one is for the Jack hearts. (2015 views) |

Red Bordeaux BlendRed 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.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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
