(2466 views) | | | Tasted by Spell on 11/14/2006: dinner party Arne laurel and Hallie and Richard (2498 views) | | | Tasted by AndrewSGHall on 3/23/2006: Strawberry flavor pretty gone. Flat and rather dull with a heaviness. Tried cold and cellar temp - no dice. Not undrinkable, but why bother? (2916 views) | | | Tasted by umazz on 2/1/2004 & rated 85 points: a big hit with guests, but not a dinner wine. definitely has a strawberry taste. (2024 views) | | | Tasted by umazz on 11/24/2003 & rated 75 points: An all right, rather fruity (as it’s supposed to be), acidic red. Not crazy about the novelty fruit wines. (2063 views) | | | Tasted by AndrewSGHall on 6/8/2003: Too difficult to rate odd things like this (there is strawberry juice blended in.) Very acidic and frizzante. Strawberry flavor apparent, but not at the fore - slight on the finish. Nice mid-range notes, but acidity blunted everything before it could get going. Very nice w/ dried chorizo. (2514 views) |
| Bonny Doon Vineyard Producer website
Bonny Doon was sold in early 2020 to "WarRoom", a wine production and marketing entity formed in 2018. Per a January 2020 Decanter article - https://www.decanter.com/wine-news/californias-bonny-doon-sold-430550/ - "Graham will retain creative control of Bonny Doon’s wines, but production will change from 35,000 cases of 15 different wines annually to just four wines: the flagship red Rhône blend Le Cigare Volant; Le Cigare Blanc (based on Vermentino); Vin Gris de Cigare (a Rhône varietal rosé); and a 100% Picpoul."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 CaliforniaNapa Valley.http://www.stagecoachvineyard.com/vineyards/our_vineyards.php
