| Community Tasting Notes (average 84 pts. and median of 84 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by Mike Kopanski on 6/29/2013 & rated 86 points: I like this a lot better than the 2011. There is some refinement and distinction here that is quite unusual at this price point. It does not follow the mold of modern California value orientated Sauvignon Blanc, as it does not have a flavor base of tangerine and a touch of residual sugar. This one tastes more of a cooler climate aroma and flavor profile with grapefruit and other citrus rather than orchard fruit. Not quite medium bodied. Less fruit forward, and more acid oriented. Very refreshing without being very intense, I guess we refer to that as elegant. The crispness is sneaky. The finish starts to exhibit some honeyed peach, but still enveloped in some serious acidity. I like this style. (1875 views) |
| Sauvignon Blanc Varietal CharacterUSAAmerican 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
