Good structure. Medium body and finish. (1325 views) | | Tasted by jgm5972 on 2/20/2012 & rated 84 points: Overly musty on nose. Nothing special. Will try to decant or aerate another bottle to see if this tasting was an anomaly. (3660 views) | | Tasted by pavinee.paulsness@gmail.com on 2/4/2012 & rated 90 points: Great blend, drink now. Smooth but has some p op. Bought at grocery outlet for 7.99, what a buy! (3568 views) | | Tasted by orlypann on 1/20/2012 & rated 90 points: Double snap for this Cali Syrah blend. Softer and more silky than the Aussie version of this grape, it delivers complex notes of blackberries, pepper and spice notes on its medium finish. Good QPR from WTSO at $14. A rebuy.

| Charles Creek Producer websiteSyrah BlendThe 2018 is 40% Merlot and 60% Syrah.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.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 / SonomaSONOMA: The Yorkville Highlands AVA, approved in 1998, is located in the southwestern corner of Mendocino County, between Sonoma County's Alexander Valley to the South and Mendocino County!s Anderson Valley to the North. The region is 25 miles long, roughly in the shape of rectangle and bisected by Highway 128 which runs the length of the AVA. The region!s terrain is hilly and forested, with elevations ranging from 1,078 to 2,442 feet above sea level. The distinguishing features of the Yorkville Highlands AVA are rocky soils with a high gravel content and the climate, which is cooler than Alexander Valley but warmer than Anderson Valley, and significantly cooler at night than the surrounding areas.CarnerosStraddles the southern ends of Napa & Sonoma Counties. |
