Well balanced and enjoyable to drink. Ready to drink now. (1191 views) | | Tasted by Altonplace on 11/4/2014 & rated 85 points: Not getting any better. ... (1475 views) | | Tasted by mutantwine on 12/14/2013 & rated 81 points: Boring and way too expensive (1990 views) | | Tasted by Merrit on 3/8/2013 & rated 89 points: Pure dusty blueberries with black pepper. Very slight astringency and rubbery taste that is instantly removed with a Venturi. Once it has been aerated, it's deliriously easy-drinking and incredibly juicy. Intriguing mineral and licorice aftertaste. It's like a party version of a Rhône wine, perhaps a Harlem Shake sur le Pont d'Avignon.

Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. 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 Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma CountySonoma Coast |
