 Tasted by BoulderWine on 7/11/2019 & rated 85 points: Digging into some bottles that I lost track of. Should have enjoyed this long ago when first acquired. Might work with a grilled steak but definitely on the downside. (526 views)

 Tasted by czarnik on 2/14/2013 & rated 89 points: Need to open several hours before drinking. If so, wonderful deep dark fruit and licorice. Yum. (1623 views)

Petit Verdot

Varietal character (Appellation America)

USA

American 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.

California

2021 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
