| Community Tasting Notes (average 85.8 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by BlancdeBlanc on 2/18/2012 & rated 84 points: Aroma: cocoa Palate: nutmeg, bramble berries, cocoa, pronounced alcohol, bitter finish. Left it sitting out with a cork in it and after 3 days I liked it more - less alcohol. After a week, it was not as good.

Although most of m experience with dessert wines is with white wines, this was pretty accessible. Not too sweet with enough acid to balance whatever sharpness was present. Not a big fancy dessert wine, but certainly respectable. I have no idea if more aging would change the flavors. (1550 views) | | | Tasted by wineaux2 on 5/4/2009: Like drinking liquid blueberry pie filling with an alcoholic kick. Strangely, this was not overtly offensive to me (at least it didn't conjure up bad memories of choking down children's cough syrup). (1832 views) | | | Tasted by fingers on 2/17/2008 & rated 87 points: Color like cherry brandy - quite red with a little garnet. Gregarious tangerine, lime, "fresh rain on dry earth" aromas. Caramel, cherry, orange, and lime notes in a 2 / 4 sweetness level. Could call it a lower alcohol brandy? Certainly great with cake desserts or a cigar, not as alluring on it's own. respectable finish with the fruit lasting almost as long as the heat. (5+12+14+6) = 87 (1974 views) |

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) |
