Tasted non blind.
Garnet to dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of white pepper, plums and red cherries. Flavors of red cherries, berries and plums. Medium acidity, medium to firm tannin, full bodied. Drink now with air or continue to hold. (722 views) | | | Tasted by KLam2020 on 12/15/2022 & rated 96 points: One of the best wines we have had. Eight hour decant and still tight.
Impressive, full bodied, well balanced Mt Veeder wine.
The barrel they used seems to be a very high quality french medium toast barrel.
This bottle could age a long time. Really good wine.

Instead it was opened early but left in the bottle. Initial impression is a bit tight and disjointed. The heat comes through and the first few sips aren't totally wonderful. Then though it starts to adjust and that Veeder greenness is there which to me is a real positive. It balances the fruit and makes the wine more interesting. Again a great pairing here (albeit a pretty standard one) with the steak. (1323 views) | | | Tasted by AusTxJim on 4/11/2020 & rated 93 points: Very young. Decanted first an hour still needed more time to breathe - get notes of fruit and berries. But still very tight. (1706 views) |
| Darioush Producer websiteRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.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)Mt.
