| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.5 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 2/22/2016 & rated 88 points: Colorado Governor's Case Wines: Light purple color. Rich and saucy on the nose, like blueberry pie and black currant jam, also some coffee, loamy soil, vanilla and cola. Full-bodied and full-throttled, the tannins are quite strong here, the acid a bit low. But I really like the quality of the fruit (blueberries, black currants, blackberry), which is rich but not overdone. Significant coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla and toasted oak, but also some leafy, peppery, loamy notes. Structured very well for the cellar. I’m really impressed by this wine and would love to retaste it in four or five years. 15% alcohol. (849 views) | | | Tasted by Mootsie on 11/18/2015 & rated 91 points: Nearly opaque maroon color. Floral, cherry cola nose. Intense black cherry, cranberry, black pepper, a bit of cola, toast, good acidity. Medium to full body. Good balance. Well crafted.
Served at room temp. Decanted for about 30 minutes. Hits its stride about an hour in. Drink or hold.

| Petit Verdot Varietal character (Appellation America)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.Colorado Colorado Wines (Colorado Wine Industry Development Board) |
