 Tasted by RichEB1 on 6/9/2018 & rated 88 points: Surprisingly still alive and providing some pleasure. Honestly tasted a bit like an older late harvest wine with the sweetness on the finish. Wonder how much RS this had (I mean...it is a Caymus)?? (995 views)
 Tasted by normanfekrat on 12/4/2010: Still a very nice subtle tasting zin.. but i would drink in the next 6 months. A little leathery and spicy. (3315 views)
 Tasted by normanfekrat on 4/7/2010 & rated 85 points: I enjoyed this bottle sitting on the back patio on a beautiful spring nite. This 2002 caymus zin is still good to drink. I did not decant but i left the bottle open for 1 hour before tasting. Very good. (3395 views)

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
