| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.9 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 18 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by alexlb06 on 11/23/2023 & rated 92 points: Solid and well balanced. 60 min decant and went really nicely with Thanksgiving (251 views) | | | Tasted by randyjc on 2/1/2021 & rated 89 points: I wanted to like this but it didn’t try hard enough. It was decent the first night with some depth of black and blue fruit hiding the alcohol. Even somewhat enjoyable. Second night was harsh and alcoholic. On the plus side, it’s deep and concentrated and Napa-like, if you enjoy that sort of thing. But it’s just too much. (2021 views) | | | Tasted by kanab ram on 12/7/2020: Dark and powerful with refined tannins. Drinking very well now without needing much air. (1763 views) | | | Tasted by tc from santee on 9/26/2020 & rated 92 points: This Cab. has settled in to its sweet spot, 2020-2026. PnP and drank well from first sip. This is a Celia Welch crafted wine. Our wine group liked it but I didn’t think it had any special depth and uniqueness.

| Lindstrom Wines Producer websiteCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonUSAAmerican 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)Stags Leap District Stags Leap District |
