| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.6 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by quinncahoon on 2/12/2023 & rated 90 points: Beautiful tawny color. Aromas of walnut, wood, caramel, maple syrup. On the palate: dark chocolate, s'mores, molasses. Such a unique wine as black monukka is traditionally a table grape.

The prices have gone up at this winery quite a bit so not sure if we will be buying more but this is some really good port! (942 views) | | | Tasted by Maphill01 on 10/21/2019: Dark amber in the glass, nose of caramel. Dried fruit, raisin, fig, caramel and black walnut. Finish of honey. (1111 views) | | | Tasted by Coachron13 on 5/22/2018 & rated 93 points: This is so unique. Some tawny port, some vin santo, some Australian sticky. Has a pretty strong coffee/caramel flavor on the palate. A really interesting, very good dessert wine. (1944 views) | | | Tasted by WineCenturyAZ on 1/3/2017 & rated 92 points: Amber in the glass, drinking very well after a few years in the cellar, palate is complex with dried fruits, fig, caramel, black walnut nuttiness, notes of agave nectar leading to a satisfying medium long finish. Very nice. (2741 views) | | | Tasted by WineCenturyAZ on 2/8/2014 & rated 90 points: Beautiful amber color in the glass, caramel on the nose. Delicious notes of fig, caramel, hazelnut and notes of pure Canadian maple syrup with a finish that lingers long after. (3749 views) | | | Tasted by ctbob on 7/15/2012: Went v. well with b-b-q peaches and caramel sauce; not a flavor profile that speaks to me -- I want my dessert wines to have a lot more acidic bite than this -- but this is a hedonistic little thing that, as tonight demonstrated, can certainly hit the spot (3946 views) | | | Tasted by MicklethePickle on 7/8/2012 & rated 98 points: Burnished light caramel color. Quality, penetrating nose of nuts and creme brûlée. Palate is silky smooth, rich, lush, fabulous. My God it is truly awesome. 5-14-19-10: 98/100. (4154 views) | | | Tasted by drdebs on 10/16/2010 & rated 93 points: Exceptional in every way, this may well remind you of old and rare Palo Cortados or Olorosos from Spain. Fantastic caramelized orange peel and toffee aromas and flavors. Rich and pure. Excellent with pumpkin pie, caramel desserts, or with a selection of aged cheeses. Highly, highly recommended and a steal for the price. (4155 views) |
| Rotta Producer website
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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
