| Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by Odedis.Wine.reviews on 10/9/2021 & rated 90 points: This is a big and bold red blend from Lodi, California. Spicy and engaging.
Showing black fruits with chocolates, oak, vanilla, coffee, mocha, peppercorn, light earth, smoke and alcohol.
Full-bodied and very very fruity.
Dry to off-dry on the palate with medium acidity.
Spicy finish with soft tannins.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime, when more complexity shows up.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses and crackers. Will pair very nicely with Burgers and Fries.
I bought some a few years ago to check how it would evolve with some aging. It didn't really mellow down, but this five-year-old is tasty and very easy to drink.
I had it two years ago and it is drinking much nicer now. Was worth the wait.
Might be a tad too sweet for some.
15% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Red 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 Central Valley The Central California Winegrowers (Official site) | Central Valley (California Wine Institute)Lodi Lodi Woodbridge Winegrape Commission | Lodi District Grape Growers Association |
