| Community Tasting Notes (average 82 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by VeniceCalif on 10/4/2016 & rated 69 points: This is a test: Can a "natural wine" age? I have had this wine for 2 years. Decanted off of some sediment. Ruby color with brick tones. It started out with a nice nose of red berries, stones, and earthy notes, but it faded somewhat quickly into some rusty oxidation. Medium to light body, somewhat tart, with cooked tart cherry flavors. Finishes very dry with light tannins. This wine did not pass the test. (762 views) | | | Tasted by VeniceCalif on 1/27/2016 & rated 86 points: Decanted 45 mins. ahead. Bricky garnet color, a few browish tinges. Nose has floral, plum, spice, and pomegranate notes. Light-bodied and nicely tart on the palate in a food-friendly way. Earthy berry flavors lead. The finish is longer than you might expect, with notable fine-grained tannins and a touch of ink. Bright and quaffable. (924 views) | | | Tasted by diggydan on 12/20/2015 & rated 91 points: Warm and rich, slight coating glycerine mouthfeel. Dark berry fruits, some cured olives on the finish, and plenty of minerality. $55 at Rustic Canyon. (948 views) |
| La Clarine Farm Producer websiteRed Blend.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 Sierra FoothillsAmadorSierra FoothillsEl Dorado |
