 Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 10/8/2022 & rated 85 points: Day 1: Holding off on a review.
Day 2: A bit more open for business but for the money this is a poorly made. Earth, dirt, mild spice, underbrush and muted red currants. Not much on the finish. Thank goodness bought this at auction for under $40. Will be using a few of these to show how a $20 wine is way better than whatever the original price on this was in a blind tasting. 85 points
Day 3: Just a harsh tasting wine. Pepper, earth, underbrush, spice and muted fruit. 83 points
Recommendation: Avoid the price and the wine. They should stick to Pinot and Chardonnay.
Can't believe when I read the tech sheet that this is made for the steakhouse. That is que one to avoid! Why would anyone blend Pinot and Syrah is beyond me? (1276 views)
 Tasted by ashikoh on 10/6/2020 & rated 90 points: Unique blend of Dundee Hills Pinot Noir and Oregon Walla Walla Syrah although Syrah character is dominant. 14.3% ABV. $85. (2204 views)
 Tasted by Harborhounds on 6/10/2020 & rated 94 points: Decanted about 1 1/2 hrs. Served with a ribeye. Yummy. (2011 views)
 Tasted by GasperTheWineGuy on 7/8/2019 & rated 90 points: Pleasing ripe tannin, dark plum, long lingering finish. Yum!!! (2453 views)
 Tasted by rmcnees on 5/26/2019 & rated 92 points: Garnet colored, full bodied, complex, concentrated expressive black fruits of black berry, black cherries and plums with notes of cassis, coffee and a touch of charred wood and black tea, a bit of heat on the firm tannin laced finish.

 Tasted by KTelaak_Buffalo on 3/11/2019 & rated 90 points: This is a bold and rich wine. Unexpected. On the heavier side with some great full fruit. Noticable tannins but they are nicely integrated. (2215 views)
 Tasted by sirriley on 12/31/2018 & rated 95 points: I love this wine! We tried in the tasting room & bought 2 bottles. Just had a bottle with New years eve dinner & its excellent with my BGE prime rib. (1472 views)

USA

American 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.
