| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.5 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by nebre8 on 8/3/2010 & rated 95 points: Despite being well past its prime, this still exhibits most of the character that made me love it at the winery. Golden yellow after so long in bottle as opposed to the pale green at bottling (from the blue-hued Honig bottles). Honeysuckle nose and chewy, honey-tinged front end. Complex notes of oak and vanilla and a lingering finish. An outstanding wine. (1812 views) |
| Honig Producer websiteSauvignon 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 Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
