| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.3 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by StlAndy on 11/22/2012 & rated 88 points: Brick red, a little musty cedar with dark cherry and hints of vanilla. First sips reveal a very light wine with little to no attack. Cherry fruit but not overly so with oakish taste. Finish is a little longer than I expected. This is coming together a little better as it sits in the glass. I'm sure it's past prime but it's enjoyable juice from Cosentino with a great QPR.

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 Central Valley The Central California Winegrowers (Official site) | Central Valley (California Wine Institute)Lodi Lodi Woodbridge Winegrape Commission | Lodi District Grape Growers Association |
