Opened substantially after an hour in the decanter and was delicious. (562 views) | | | Tasted by MrD on 9/22/2020: Amazing! (625 views) | | | Tasted by cblinstrub on 6/29/2018 & rated 93 points: Best bottle of the case. (1335 views) | | | Tasted by TastesGoodToMe on 4/16/2017 & rated 93 points: My last bottle. Drinking wonderfully right now. Paired very well with a filet mignon. (2071 views) | | | Tasted by TastesGoodToMe on 11/16/2016 & rated 93 points: What a great wine and a pleasant surprise. Fantastic! (2161 views) | | | Tasted by cblinstrub on 11/13/2015 & rated 87 points: Brettanomyces. Just not a fan. Sucks on a $100 bottle of wine. Tastes flat. No where near as good as the last bottle. One bottle left, but don't see it getting much better. (1839 views) | | | Tasted by RJ&JJ on 10/22/2015 & rated 94 points: This was simply a superb, well-balanced red wine, that matched perfectly with our petite filet and lamb chops. Too bad we only have the one bottle! Lovely full mouth-feel, long velvety finish, with lots of ripe fruit on the mid-palate and a great balance of acid and soft tanins. This wine has lots of life left in it, but if you have some, crack one open as it is drinking perfectly well right now. Match it with some red meat... it will overwhelm fish and likely even poultry unless it is wild game (maybe pheasant!). (1853 views) | | | Tasted by millerarner on 9/13/2015 & rated 93 points: Classically styled. Excellent balance. Plenty of life left. (1340 views) | | | Tasted by gigmoney on 5/27/2013 & rated 94 points: Pop and pour. Well integrated cali cab. Not a fruit bomb. I'll wait 3 more years before my last one. (2486 views) | | | Tasted by jfaulk on 9/1/2012 & rated 92 points: Very nice & balanced Bordeaux blend. Supple sweet fruit supported by nice oak & tannin (2878 views) | | | Tasted by franco rosso on 7/9/2012 & rated 92 points: A great blend. Balanced complex and impressive. I would serve this along any Bordeaus. (2888 views) | | | Tasted by franco rosso on 6/2/2012 & rated 92 points: Great blend. Sturdy, complex, elegant. Delivers lots of berry, chocolate, tobacco nuances. Outstanding domestic Bordeaux style wine. (2844 views) | | | Tasted by xboomer on 5/26/2012 & rated 91 points: Very good. (2468 views) | | | Tasted by soyhead on 6/17/2011 & rated 91 points: nose - charcoal, roasted fruit, sweet cherry

45% CS 43% CF 5%PV 4%Malbec 3%Merlot (1723 views) | | | Tasted by bigdomer on 6/9/2011 & rated 91 points: Excellent wine. 45% cab, 43% cab franc, and the rest typical Bordeaux varietals. The franc leaves a mineral flavor on the back palate, however I enjoy that. (1529 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| Krupp Brothers Estates Producer websiteRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.Stagecoach Vineyard On weinlagen-infoUSAAmerican 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)Atlas Peak Atlas Peak Appellation Association |
