| Community Tasting Notes (average 89 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by ajfret01 on 2/1/2013 & rated 89 points: Aroma of "Bit-o-Honey" candy, nice palate with medium finish. Drink now or hold a few more years to further develop the secondary notes. (1612 views) | | | Tasted by mkmast on 11/25/2010 & rated 89 points: A very nice post Thanksgiving dinner wine. Appropriately sweet with strong enough fruit flavors to keep it away from cloying. Peach, apricot and honey on the palate. I'm not necessarily the biggest dessert wine fan but this is one that I enjoy. (2214 views) | | | Tasted by davidwhitedc on 8/3/2010 & rated 89 points: A wonderful QPR dessert wine ($25, at the winery). Lots of honeysuckle, apricot, and flowers. A bit too simple (and too short of a finish) to crack 90 points. (2416 views) | | | Tasted by DollarMenunaire on 1/11/2010 & rated 88 points: Bright honeysuckle nose upon opening. Changes in the glass somewhat quickly to get more creamy and dense, but loses some of the floral tones. Doesn't have the lift of a great desert wine, but has slightly more concentrated flavor than I remember from earlier tasting. Good value, pop and pour. (2383 views) | | | Tasted by Nutty08 on 11/9/2009: Trip to Napa/Sonoma; 11/7/2009-11/14/2009 (Napa/Sonoma): Can't say i've ever had anything similar. Flamboyant peach apricot nose, sweet palate that hangs on forever. Quite enjoyable, but I'm not sure I'll ever buy a desert wine. (3938 views) | | | Tasted by ScottGoodwin on 10/6/2009: Sweet ripe pear and apricot. Floral. A touch of acidity on the finish. (1514 views) | | | Tasted by LelouchViBritannia on 8/28/2009 & rated 92 points: California Wine Tour; 8/27/2009-8/30/2009 (Sonoma/Spring Mtn/Napa/Santa Cruz): Maybe around 92 pts, I like sweet stuff so I could be generous. Floral, peachy, honey-layered, complex, long, and not syrupy sweet. A steal, we bought 4 at $15 ea. (2903 views) | | | Tasted by joraesque on 6/10/2009 & rated 87 points: 87+ (1398 views) |
| Novy Family Wines Producer WebsiteWhite Blend"White blend" means the wine is made from a blend of two or more different white varieties - or in some cases a blend of pink or red varieties that are vinified white, ie. without any skin contact.
A blend of Antao, Arinto, Rouperio. 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 Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyRussian River Valley Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia |
