Decent fruit up front, not a lot of complexity on the back end. Probably wouldn’t buy again.

No need to get more though. (1543 views) | | | Tasted by gamlingman on 6/15/2020 & rated 80 points: As this one goes I'll pass. Absolutely no depth or structure to be found. Dry and gritty without and complexity and a bitter aftertaste. Not quite sure what they are going for here but it was an epic failure.

Fabulous day one, a touch sour the second. Buy again. (1000 views) | | | Tasted by iseedarkness on 11/11/2019 & rated 83 points: It’s good. Not as good as last night’s but good (1151 views) | | | Tasted by jwilkey on 5/3/2019 & rated 82 points: The wine is dark purple colored, thin with fast legs and no sediment. The wine is sharp to start and remains so when open to air. It has a slight blackberry and cassis smell with a similar taste, but the taste is stony, a bit peppery with a hot alcohol and acetic acid taste. The body is light/medium and has a coarse texture with a medium finish and high acidity, which, unfortunately, will last you through the evening. This purchase was a disappointment, as I purchased two bottles and four additional two bottle selections on the recommendation of a wine consultant in a large wine store chain. I'm hoping the person's other recommendations don't further reflect on his pallet. With so much quality wine being produced, this wine needs either rebranding, repricing or both. I would not purchase it again! (1218 views) | | | Tasted by Janaeyvette on 6/29/2017 & rated 83 points: Very fruity. Goes well with food or alone. (1797 views) |
| Cabernet 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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
