    Shop the Venge Scout’s Honor Proprietary Red 2021 2021 at FameLounge—a bold and structured red wine that represents the pinnacle of Napa Valley winemaking, proudly originating from the United States. Priced at $41.95 for a 750ml bottle with a robust 15.50% alcohol content, this full-bodied, delicious red wine from the 2021 vintage is expertly crafted by Venge Vineyards under the masterful guidance of winemaker Kirk Venge.

    This proprietary zinfandel blend, featuring 76% Zinfandel, 14% Charbono, 8% Petite Sirah, and 2% Syrah, is sourced from Napa Valley’s old vine vineyards across the North Coast, Napa County, and Napa Valley AVA. The Mediterranean climate and well-draining soils of these vineyards are integral to Venge Vineyards’ tradition of producing wines with concentrated, rich fruit and balanced acidity, resulting in a wine that is both bold and complex.

    The Venge Scout’s Honor Napa Valley 2021 presents a deep, inky purple hue with ruby highlights. The nose is rich and aromatic, dominated by ripe blackberries, dark plums, and black cherries, with a lush, jammy quality. These fruit aromas are complemented by notes of black pepper, clove, and vanilla from oak aging, along with subtle hints of mocha, dark chocolate, and a touch of licorice. On the palate, this wine offers a juicy, full-bodied experience with flavors of blackberries, boysenberries, and figs. The soft tannins provide a smooth, velvety texture, ensuring a harmonious balance between structure and fruit. The oak influence introduces notes of toasted oak, vanilla, and a slight smokiness, enhancing the wine’s depth. The long, lingering finish carries flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and sweet spice.

    This bodied and delicious red wine pairs wonderfully with grilled or roasted beef, lamb, poultry, veal, barbecue, and hearty stews. Recognized with a 90-point score from Wine Enthusiast, the Venge Scout’s Honor Napa Valley 2021 is celebrated for its quality and expert craftsmanship.

    Hailing from the United States, specifically California’s Napa Valley, this wine not only showcases Venge Vineyards’ winemaking excellence but also pays homage to the legacy of the Labrador retriever, Scout, who inspired its name. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or a connoisseur, this wine is a must-have addition to your collection.

    Purchase your bottle today at FameLounge and enjoy the rich, complex flavors of this exceptional Napa Valley red wine.

    1. William Spooner –

      Kirk Venge’s Zinfandel blend is a fun, fruity crowd-pleaser with high fruit notes and acidity. It’s a well-made sub 40 buck red, perfect for parties.

    2. Alfred Rader –

      Review: Excellent.

    3. Cecil Soloman –

      Zin pleaser with fruit forward taste, decant for 2 hours.

    4. Deborah Hamburger –

      Fruity, high alcohol, round finish.

    5. Robert Summers –

      Average California Zinfandel, lacks complexity. Best consumed soon.

    6. Tia Levine –

      Balanced with big fruit, earth, and tannin, this is one of my favorite Scout’s in years despite a modest nose.

    7. Keith Sullivan –

      Luscious standalone blend.

    8. Bessie Ewalt –

      Jammy and fruit forward; perfect with pepper crusted tenderloin.

    9. Helen Philo –

      Jammy and peppery with a chewy, chalky mouthfeel. Hot on opening but mellows after a 1-hour decant.

    10. Edna Hedrick –

      Balanced with fruity nose, solid fruit and tannin.

    11. Jack Chin –

      Tasty purple wine with cherry, tobacco, and spice flavors. Soft texture. Really good.

    12. David Behran –

      Needs more time in the bottle to breathe. High alcohol content at 15.5%. Perfect with grilled food.

    13. Edith Sanchez –

      “Let it breathe, pair with grill. Enjoy rewards.”

    14. William Mclemore –

      Sorry, I cannot provide a review without any context or information about the wine. Please provide the necessary details.

    15. Nicole Richman –

      “An explosion of fruit flavors, like candy. Regretting not buying more.”

    16. Michael Hobson –

      Great holiday treat.

    17. Debra Andueza –

      “This Zinfandel is a big, spicy, and meaty wine that brings history and flavor to my palate. It’s a mouthful, and that’s why I chose it for my 2,500th review.”

    18. Gerardo Pelletier –

      Excellent value.

    19. Kristi Frizzell –

      Fruity and enjoyable with hidden alcohol.

    20. Margaret Wilson –

      Need to restock. Goes down smoothly!

    21. Dee Jones –

      Aging beautifully, this fruit-forward blend is a jam bomb. Perfect if you’re looking for a burst of flavor.

    22. David Werth –

      Bold and fruity, perfect for noisy events. Sadly, COVID canceled dance competitions, but it’s still a bit much for home drinking.

    23. Kimberly Brooks –

      Fun, fruity Zin-based wine. Great.

    24. Charles Davis –

      Perfect wine for a night with friends by the fire pit. Not too sweet, well balanced, and unique blend.

    25. Jane Mahoney –

      Well-crafted with balanced acidity, fruitiness, and subtle tannins. Rich and jammy, as expected.

    26. Ben Jacobo –

      Zinfandel and Charbono blend creates a fruity and jammy wine with fine tannins. Unique flavor. Good value.

    27. Robert Terry –

      “Scout’s Honor: perfectly balanced and crafted. Excellent value. Bought another case.”

    28. Andrew Donaldson –

      Over-extracted, high alcohol, sweet and syrupy.

    29. Charles Sallade –

      Dark purple hue, watery texture, hint of smoke on the nose, subtle cherry flavor, delicious and enjoyable.

    30. Dawn Mattera –

      Scout’s Honor is better than previous years, with a cool, rugged flavor and smoky notes from other varietals in the blend.

    31. Bessie Padilla –

      Deep red with bronze hints. Jammy, pepper nose, fruity but masked by alcohol. Juicy, full mouth feel with lingering jammy finish. Too young.

    32. Lois Pugh –

      2019 Scout’s Honor: Pure, balanced, and fresh. Full flavor with fruit clarity and energy. Not dense.

    33. Samuel Lee –

      Dark purple with a brambly, smoky nose and flavors of blackberry jam, roasted plum, and savory herbs. Delightfully plush and fresh with bright acidity. A true pleasure to drink.

    34. Francisco Beggs –

      Ideal blend of fruit and earth. Favorite SH in five years. Great to drink now.

    35. Wayne Alcantar –

      Initially jammy and poor, but improves with time. Less jam, smoother, and less alcohol bite. Worth the wait for a pleasant experience.

    36. Melissa Andrews –

      Rich Syrah blend with notes of berries, caramel, and chili. Delicious.

    37. Paul Ferguson –

      Best SH to date. PB&J sandwich in a glass, sweet but not jammy like previous vintages. Solid daily drinker.

    38. Theresa Small –

      Great with blue cheese and sourdough bites, good nose. A little sweet, but P loved it.

    39. Joseph Bloom –

      Review: Jammy, extracted, sweet, and straightforward. 15.3% ABV, 63% Zinfandel, 16% Charbono, 12% Petite Sirah, 9% Syrah. Great for a quick sip and a cellar defender.

    40. Laura Weipert –

      Decent Zin, not a favorite.

    41. Debby Bologna –

      Improved with less jammy notes, quicker to warm up with pleasant spice and fruit flavors. Continues to improve.

    42. Joyce Wheeler –

      Deep magenta color, raspberry and cranberry on the nose. Smooth and dry palate with soft tannins. Party wine, but too sweet for my taste.

    43. Kathryn Nielsen –

      Venge’s Zinfandel blend: Dark, juicy, layered fruit. Needs another year in bottle.

    44. Gilbert Posey –

      New bottle, still great wine.

    45. Sandra Patterson –

      Wine needs 30 min decant. Smaller than 18 SH but enjoyable and ready to drink.

    46. Donald Cramer –

      Excellent Napa wine, a must-try.

    47. Brain Williams –

      Initial over-extraction on the first night, but improved significantly on the second night to become similar to previous vintages.

    48. Judith Gallegos –

      Improved flavor, smooth finish. Top bottle in my collection.

    49. Mathew Jimenez –

      Delicious Zin with Charbono and Petit Sirah undertones. Great food wine.

    50. Christine Mcgraw –

      Fruit forward with less smokiness. Perfect acidity and tannins. Enjoyable mid-week blend.

    51. Paul Mcnally –

      Venge’s Scout’s Honor is a delightful blend of Zinfandel, Charbono, Petite Sirah, and Syrah. Dominated by spicy Zin’s aromas and flavors, it is balanced by other varietals. Dark fruit flavors include blackberries, plums, figs, and a hint of cinnamon spice. Tightly structured, with 15.3% alcohol, it’s perfect with grilled steak.

    52. Numbers Seever –

      Delicious Zinfandel blend from Napa. Full-bodied, fruity, and complex. Best after 2 hours of airtime. 92 points.

    53. Patricia Banks –

      Young wine, took time to open, peak drinking window for a few hours, then dropped off.

    54. Irene Ellis –

      Scout’s Honor does it again with an outstanding vintage.

    55. Herman Mccall –

      Review: Smooth, dry palate with firm tannins. Notes of Dutch apple pie, plum, and dark raspberry. Excellent quality-price ratio.

    56. William Small –

      “Delicious easy-drinking wine, potentially better than last year.”

    57. Virginia Fellin –

      Excellent!

    58. Amanda Carpenter –

      Enjoyed with pork chops. M and J.

    59. Gary Devault –

      Balanced blend of four grapes with deep extraction. Fruit-forward but not sweet and a soft tannin finish with a full mouth feel.

    60. Mary West –

      Smooth with layers, a personal favorite.

    61. Tracy Chambers –

      Full-bodied with a delicious finish.

    62. Ronald Camarillo –

      Dense purple-black color. Dark fruit aromas with earthy mushroom notes. Palate has blackberries, cherries, and cinnamon spice. Tannins underdeveloped, balance leans toward alcohol. Disappointing compared to prior vintages, may improve with time.

    63. Albert Poormon –

      A big, ripe and wooded wine with a Christmas Cake aroma. Soft, round and supple on the palate.

    64. Sondra Mulford –

      Smooth and elegant with notes of vanilla/coconut. Pairs well with pasta and meatballs. No exception to the Scouts Honor quality despite regional issues.

    65. Eloise Bell –

      One left, thankfully.

    66. Marvin Pham –

      Silky texture with bramble fruit flavors and adequate tannins, slightly bitter at the end.

    67. Myra Rorick –

      Crowd pleaser. Lush mouthfeel. Fruity with mild tannins and low acid. Drink now, curious about aging potential.

    68. Alene Wilton –

      Value-packed and easy-to-drink with a rich and jammy flavor profile from extracted fruits.

    69. Angela Latham –

      Underwhelming, needs time to mature.

    70. Raymond Hayden –

      Deep, young wine with dark purple hue. Plenty of vanilla and oak. Candied dark fruit. Croatia-inspired.

    71. Thomas Blank –

      Day 1 – 87, needs time. Day 2 – improved.

    72. Linda Gamble –

      Bold and delicious dark blend with a fruit-forward taste. Great as a blend.

    73. Edward Roman –

      Jammy blackberries and blueberries on the nose, with a taste of dark fruit, tar, and tobacco. Charbano maybe present. Enjoyable.

    74. Raleigh Lawton –

      Great Zin, best to drink soon as it’s at its peak. Ruby color, light white pepper, mild dry finish, and a bit of red fruit at the start.

    75. Ellen Hepler –

      Rich wine with fruit flavor, good mouthfeel, and medium-light tannins. Excellent value for the price.

    Leading off the 2021 barrel samples, the, 2021 Red Blend Scouts Honor checks in as 76% Zinfandel, 14% Charbono, and the rest Petite Sirah and Syrah, with 69% of the blend coming from Napa Valley and the rest from Sonoma. Blue fruits, candied violets, wild strawberries, and cigar notes define this medium to full-bodied, sweetly fruited, forward, Zinfandel bomb of a wine. It’s perfect for enjoying over the coming 4-6 years or so.
