Still some fruit, but noticeable funk is distracting. (76 views) | | Tasted by Herb K on 7/14/2021: I can’t say enough great things about this ‘06 Cab Franc. It was spectacular. Still so Vince teared, brooding, full of plums and jammy fruit with smooth tannins. Packed so rich. (385 views) | | Tasted by OG-Wino on 1/3/2020: Totally past its prime, and even its "should have retired but kept playing anyway" days... Had to pour it out... (578 views) | | Tasted by Fishboy on 10/6/2012 & rated 90 points: Great cab franc (1672 views) | | Tasted by Fishboy on 12/26/2011 & rated 90 points: Another great bottle. (1690 views) | | Tasted by Fishboy on 10/24/2010 & rated 90 points: We really enjoyed this bottle. Red fruit and earth notes with some noticeable tannins. (1887 views) | | Tasted by davidcbaker on 2/26/2010 & rated 85 points: Needs another year or two I think. The flavors are a bit light in relation to the alcohol (14.8%) at this time. There is some berry flavor along with an earthiness on the aftertaste yet some alcohol burn. This should improve with time a bit more integration, overcome its flatness. (2530 views) |
| Vineyard 29 Producer WebsiteCabernet Franc Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wines & Vines articleUSAAmerican 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)St. Helena Appellation Napa Valley The single vineyards on weinlagen-info |
