(1126 views) | | | Tasted by silton on 6/19/2011: Consumed several weeks ago. Best Bonny Doon wine in many years. Not flabby and rather long. (1516 views) | | | Tasted by wannabesnob on 6/22/2009 & rated 87 points: Decent ice wine. Stood up well to a Pavlova. (2329 views) | | | Tasted by Redteeth on 3/3/2007: Very tasty and held its own with a lemon sorbet dessert. (1962 views) | | | Tasted by devinl on 2/21/2007 & rated 90 points: Very pleasant and sweet. (2739 views) | | | Tasted by eric42 on 1/24/2007 & rated 85 points: Very good value. Syrupy-sweet; pineapple, melon flavors. (2534 views) | | | Tasted by EricB on 10/17/2006: Nice orange, lemon, honey, and golden raisin flavors. A bit of a cross between the golden raisin sauternes and the normal acidic ice wine taste. (2639 views) | | | Tasted by Rob MacKay on 10/15/2006 & rated 90 points: This is a great QPR dessert wine that very closely resembles true Canadian or German icewine in both the flavor and texture. Very sweet and syrupy. (2644 views) |
| Bonny Doon Vineyard Producer website
Bonny Doon was sold in early 2020 to "WarRoom", a wine production and marketing entity formed in 2018. Per a January 2020 Decanter article - https://www.decanter.com/wine-news/californias-bonny-doon-sold-430550/ - "Graham will retain creative control of Bonny Doon’s wines, but production will change from 35,000 cases of 15 different wines annually to just four wines: the flagship red Rhône blend Le Cigare Volant; Le Cigare Blanc (based on Vermentino); Vin Gris de Cigare (a Rhône varietal rosé); and a 100% Picpoul."Muscathttp://www.alsace-wine.net/d/muscat.shtml
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscat_OttonelUSAAmerican 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 CaliforniaNapa Valley.http://www.stagecoachvineyard.com/vineyards/our_vineyards.php
