| Community Tasting Notes (average 94.6 pts. and median of 95 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by BadOyster on 3/8/2024 & rated 96 points: Time has been kind to this wine. Over 3 years it has developed into a wine with a sense of graphite to kalon fruit (that I often associate with MacDonald), energetic, crystalline black fruits, and a very pleasantly balanced toasted herb on the finish to give some savory appeal. Now this is a wine I’d buy again and again (if ever I could find any back stock left on shelves). A good value under $100 just so long as you’re not expecting Chinon.

It is still rich and new world tasty, but the backbone and herb flavors remind you this isn’t some no-name Napa Cab. Good stuff. Probably could have benefited from decanting. (882 views) | | | Tasted by pkouchu on 1/26/2021 & rated 94 points: blackberries, black currant, coffee, licorice, dark chocolate, cedar, savory herbs, graphite, and baking spice. Oak integration is fantastic, not over-bearing in any way.
The fruit is big as expected, but is lifted with medium plus acidity giving balance to the wine. Tannins are well integrated but very present, this needs some time to open up, give it a few hours in the decanter.

This may be the best Detert imbibed to date. Delicious. Grape popsicle. (1574 views) |

| Detert Family Vineyards Producer websiteCabernet Franc Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wines & Vines articleUSAAmerican 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)Oakville |
