My #2, Group's #3 (47 pts) Tasted blind. (829 views) | | | Tasted by dsimmons on 7/9/2012 & rated 92 points: For an old dog this is a good wine. I bought three of these at auction and this is certainly the best bottle of the three. Clear inky black color. no cloudiness whatsoever. beautiful nose of floral and sweet black fruits, figs, graphite, earth. The flavor profile is or a mature cab. Nice dark fruits, earth, a little pepper, a little tartness. all in all still an excellent bottle of wine. (2819 views) | | | Tasted by dsimmons on 4/21/2011 & rated 88 points: Informal tasting of Older California Wines: This is the second of three of these purchased at auction. This wine was popped and poured. It had the nose and flavor profile of a an older cab that is a little tired. Even so it was a pleasant drink. Again, I believe that this wine would have been better 10 years ago. (3375 views) | | | Tasted by dsimmons on 11/27/2010 & rated 89 points: This wine is doing alright for a 23 year old bottle. Nothing profound but it is certainly an enjoyable drink. Color is dark purple with no signs of bricking. Nose is earth, mushrooms with faint fruit and spice. Needs about an hour to really show well. The flavors are muted fruit with strong earth and forest floor flavors. This wine is probably 5-10 years past it's peak but still has good curb appeal. (3017 views) |

https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2018/11/big-red-petit-verdot-for-serious-sipping.htmlCabernet 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 SauvignonReserve The Wine News | Wine Country This Week | Wine Lover's PageUSAAmerican 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 |
