(582 views) | | Tasted by foobarski on 3/5/2016 & rated 90 points: Liking this more now than I did two years ago ... it definitely tastes more mature now. (609 views) | | Tasted by robmillis on 11/16/2014 & rated 88 points: Nice earthy compliment to a variety of foods. Rich blackberry and raspberry with charcoal and tobacco to balance. Clearly not Australian or European, you get a nice mouthful of California dirt to chew on here. (938 views) | | Tasted by foobarski on 3/22/2014 & rated 88 points: Tasted very loud and young - I will probably let my other bottle of this hang for at least another year or two. That said, I enjoyed this wine a lot. Had a nice sour edge to it. Paired very well with a dinner of spicy red beans with andouille and rice. (825 views) |
| Twisted Oak Producer websiteSyrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. 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 FoothillsAmadorCalaveras County Calaveras Winegrape Alliance |
