| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.5 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by tarheel17 on 2/28/2012 & rated 87 points: STG does California Cabernet (Seattle): served blind
my least favorite of the flight (discounting the corked Realm). It smelled sweetly pruned and the alcohol was high. After it turned out to be Cab Franc, I tasted it again, and would never have guessed it - it seemed to lack any particular personality, other than too boozy. Meh. (3869 views) | | | Tasted by jivey on 6/11/2007 & rated 86 points: BWN - Smoke anise, cedar box dark cherry. Almost tawny port in color. The noise was to die for but the fruit was faded and not much to back it up. (3703 views) | | | Tasted by Koods on 7/26/2004 & rated 85 points: Purple to the rim. Forgiving nose of chocolate, coffee, blackberries and more chocolate. the palate was lush, simple and ripe, balanced and open. Nice cassis notes and some cocoa, medium bodied and pretty average finish, this was uninspiring tonite. was waiting for more but nothing going. certainly ready to drink, this wine, while tasty, does not inspire.

| Chappellet 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)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
