 Tasted by SLOFred on 10/11/2020 & rated 93 points: This wine was like chocolate covered blueberries. Absolutely drinking perfectly right now. Hard to remember too many better GSM blends. (685 views)

 Tasted by wine maestro on 10/12/2015 & rated 94 points: HIGHLY RECOMMEND (63 views)
 Tasted by brianofthevine on 7/23/2015 & rated 93 points: First time with this winery based upon recommendation and very pleased. Tasted blind against a couple other GSM's in Paso and this showed very nicely with black cherry, blackberry fruit with a nice chocolate presence. Very seamless wine that seemed to get better throughout the evening. (1267 views)
 Tasted by greekwineaux on 7/9/2015 & rated 87 points: Waste of my friend's money-glad it wasn't mine. (1299 views)
 Tasted by SLOFred on 7/5/2015 & rated 92 points: Goes to show you that everyone has a different perspective on wine and it is very individual. The prior note panning this wine is pretty harsh. I have been drinking this wine for many years and is one of my favorite blends. This is no exception. Dark purple colors, dark fruit with chocolate in the background. I love this wine! (786 views)
 Tasted by mike l. on 4/20/2015 & rated 85 points: hot tannic very sweet. par for the course for GSM from paso but im tired of this style and the price is silly. (864 views)

Red Rhone Blend

Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.

A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.

USA

American 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.

California

2021 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
