Faded quickly after being decanter for an hour. Drink up. (1600 views) | | | Tasted by grapist on 11/11/2006 & rated 89 points: Consistant with (my) previous notes. Lots of character. great at the Italian restaurant. (4302 views) | | | Tasted by grapist on 10/22/2006 & rated 89 points: Fading from the pleasure of earlier bottles, this still is a most pleasant quaff. I think it's a great US answer to Chianti. Softer, richer,lacking the distinct edge of pure Sangiovese. Also a good bargain. (4243 views) | | | Tasted by JeffJo on 4/2/2004 & rated 82 points: Okay, I was a bit hard on the wine last time. Still not great, but it has come together and is on it's downward slide. Slightly musky nose with little fruit. Mouthfeel has improved, but lacks in fruit and has a slightly minty, metallic finish. Rim of the wine is amber with a white edge. Definitely doesn't live up to WS's rating. (5113 views) | | | Tasted by SadEdjo on 8/16/2002: slight smokey bacon & strawberry. smooth finish. (3659 views) | | | Tasted by chris_3 on 11/3/2001 & rated 85 points: Nice soft italian 8 (2651 views) | | | Tasted by JeffJo on 6/9/2000 & rated 74 points: Dry and dusty tannins with sharp, bright berry flavors. Somewhat smoky, but not well integrated. (2475 views) | | | Tasted by mdefreitas on 5/13/1999 & rated 85 points: Cherries, herbs, and some nice sweet red fruits, but rather simple. Not much structure, but a very nice quaffer. (1427 views) |
| Ferrari-Carano Producer websiteSangiovese BlendSangiovese blend is used in CellarTracker for Italian wines to represent wines predominantly made of Sangiovese and blended with traditional Italian grapes. It is different than SuperTuscan which is a blend of Sangiovese with non-traditional (eg Bordeaux) varieties, often in closer to equal portions. For example, Chianti is at least 80% Sangiovese and will always be listed Sangiovese 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 Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma CountySonoma Coast |
