| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.8 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Matt Scott on 6/4/2016 & rated 93 points: Fresh red pepper, sliced plumb, wicker basket, tomato plant, berry medley and gravel. Long and gliding, with a fruit-filled middle palate. So much panache and strut, with a formidable backbone and fine-grained tannins. Wonderful balance and no sign of age; the cellar beckons. Drink now - 2027. (1941 views) | | | Tasted by bobpsi on 1/8/2012 & rated 92 points: Expressive nose of black cherry, raspberry, sandalwood, and spice. Medium plus body of red and black raspberry, vanilla and cocoa. Medium plus drying finish. (3402 views) | | | Tasted by vinovoyager on 1/8/2012 & rated 95 points: Simply awesome!

Jackson Family WinesCabernet 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)Howell Mountain Howell Mountain |
