| Community Tasting Notes (average 88 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Spencer on 6/23/2005 & rated 88 points: I bought a case of this wine on release and thought that I had long ago finished it off, but I unearthed a bottle while doing some cellar reorganization. I didn't have much hope for this wine as it had never been much more than a simple, light, pleasant red quaffer, but I was very nicely surprised. This had tons of barnyard on the nose, which was something it had never shown before. Still lots of fruit, although more blackberry/plum than the bright cherry fruit it used to have. Full-bodied, balanced, and a nice mouthfeel. I never would have expected this wine to develop like this, but it really improved, and I was fortunate to have had it (one bottle, anyways) at perfect maturity.

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 |
