Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 1 note)

 Tasted by DanH on 12/19/2012 & rated 90 points: Granted this was tasted immediately after one of the most overwhelming wines of the evening, but still for the age of this wine it was a little simple. The wine certainly boasts some characteristics of a multi-decade champagne including beautifully integrated acids, with a round flavor profile. Would rate much better, but there is a bit of bitterness at the end of a sip (sommelier at the event described it as 'off'). (1694 views)

Chardonnay

The Chardonnay Grape

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.

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
