| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.8 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by rmcnees on 10/4/2020: https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2020/09/wedding-wines-birthyear-and-big-bottle.html (845 views) | | | Tasted by AndrewSGHall on 5/30/2020: Nicely alive and kicking. Spartan profile and acidic based with a meaty streak. Nose is earthy, a little baked garrigue and hung meat. Thin profile. Shorter finish that lead would expect. Some fruits on the backside. By no means great, but quite enjoyable. (950 views) | | | Tasted by bluedog on 3/8/2015 & rated 92 points: Nose of ripe berries. Deep, dark purple with nice carmeling. Oak with a bit of menthol. Very nice. If you own it, drink soon. (2381 views) | | | Tasted by rmcnees on 12/18/2010 & rated 90 points: Dark - full bodied - huge floral perfume - earthy leather and black fruits - hint of anise and touch of creosote on the finish - for a moment you'll think you're drinking a Bordeaux! There is still life left in this 10 year old - has several years yet. (4439 views) | | | Tasted by tacman on 2/18/2008 & rated 88 points: lacking the flavor of previous samples, I hope this bottle was just slightly off and that it is not "over the hill" (4374 views) | | | Tasted by trankin on 10/27/2006 & rated 93 points: Decanted for about 45 minutes. Open for business and ready to go. Wonderful fruit. Developing secondary nuances. Really a very nice wine, and not a bad time to drink it, although I suspect a couple more years may even improve it. (4480 views) | | | Tasted by AndrewSGHall on 4/8/2003: Outstanding. Great full-on fruit with incredible depth. Very full-bodied and robust. Fruity tannins with rounded elements. Hints of anise, mint and clay. Slightly short on the finish. Excellent all around.

Lewis Cellars Napa Chateau Tasting
https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2017/08/lewis-cellars-napa-chateau-tasting.htmlSyrah 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 Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
