Possibly past it's prime? This tastes like mass produced low quality wines found coming up from Plonkia. Nothing offensive, but it was simple, weak and watery. (1721 views) | | | Tasted by RPerro on 3/8/2009 & rated 90 points: Day 1: Equally dark in color as the 2005. Nose is much more fruit forward than the 2005, and much less earth and leather as well. This is 90% raspberry and 10% leather. On the palate, sweet raspberry fruit is front and center, and while the earth comes up, not nearly as forward as the 2005. More acidity than the 2005 also. A touch bitter on the finish, making me think this could benefit from another year or two of bottle age to come around. I would hold this for another year or two. Vacuum sealed for further tasting.
Day 3: Still a good dose of sweet fruit on the nose. Just a hint of leather now. Taste has fallen off, and lost a lot of that forward raspberry fruit it had a couple days ago. Finish is quite bitter now. Definitely not as enjoyable on day 3 as the 2005 was. Perhaps the extra year in bottle made the difference?

Uninteresting, showing some spice. Quite drinkable, but not much excitement.

Spicy raspberry fruit and earth, reminding me of (surprise) a Bordeaux. More time required! (3186 views) |

Red Blend.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.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board)Columbia Valley Columbia Valley Winery Association |
