| Community Tasting Notes (average 86.7 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 14 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Brannsa on 11/22/2015 & rated 89 points: Dark - almost garnet. Long legs. Closed-not much for the nose, but interesting in the mouth. Mostly berry, nice tannin - probably ideal age through 2016. Would have guessed it to be a European blend, not U.S. Bottle say mostly Cab blended with Petit Verdot. (2115 views) | | | Tasted by IN on 6/3/2015 & rated 80 points: Medium body, strong tannins, medium finish, not very smooth. Somewhat "thin". Not a sipping wine. Ok with food. Bought several bottles. Will be taking them to share with friends to make room in my wine cellar for better wine. ;-) (2537 views) | | | Tasted by Ecb1456 on 6/1/2015 & rated 88 points: PnP. Overripe cherry nose with just a hint green pepper. First sip is a white hot jammy mess. This needs to breathe. Feels a little hotter than it probably is. Currant and berries with some plum and little pepper. Medium mouth and mild, almost whispy tannins that do linger subtly. Should be good for another two years but don't push it. (2377 views) | | | Tasted by Ombibulous on 5/28/2015 & rated 86 points: A Bordeaux blend, primarily Cab and Petit Verdot. Dark purple. Dry, slightly floral nose. It get red berries, hint of currants. Medium bodied. More Old World in style; consume with food. Tannins are soft, so drink within 12 months. Rated 90 by Wine Spectator. A respectable wine, but professional ratings are inflated. Aerate. (2398 views) | | | Tasted by Jayarr on 12/2/2014: Purple in color so obviously quite young. Pop and pour. Not much aroma to it, black fruit which opened up with more air. I won't score but if I did, it wouldn't be too far off the avg score. I'll give the other bottle 1.5 to 2 years. (2662 views) |
| Geyser Peak Producer WebsiteRed 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 CountyAlexander Valley Alexander Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia
