Kind of a cross between a port and a zin. (2199 views) | | | Tasted by River Rat on 11/25/2010 flawed bottle: Corked. Still a bit drinkable but the TCA must was a killer. Had another one at home in the cellar. Should have brought it as a back-up. Who knew? (2109 views) | | | Tasted by River Rat on 5/6/2010 & rated 95 points: 18.2% ABV fortified with barrel aged cognac. Blackberry, cherry and boysenberry pie with a kick. Smooth tannins, finish may end tomorrow morning. Wow! I could pour this on my ice cream. Dee-licious! Someone pass the whipped cream. Incredible QPR @ $18 (2365 views) |

| Zinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelUSAAmerican 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 Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
