| Community Tasting Notes (average 85.7 pts. and median of 85 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by GillesCyr on 6/16/2019: Fête de père (852 views) | | | Tasted by Nat_DP on 1/22/2017 & rated 85 points: Love this rosé. Drinks very much like a French wine. Lots of mineral and watermelon notes (1512 views) | | | Tasted by mhauser on 10/15/2016: Not much nose. Good sourness on the palate, with medium acidity and low tannin. Hint of sweetness. Better chilled, goes down easy, but thin. Not bad, and pretty good for the price, but there is better rose. (1514 views) | | | Tasted by vin0vin0 on 8/30/2016 & rated 85 points: This is best well chilled, showing a good bit of citrus, a slight touch of watermelon rind and a big hit of acid. Not the best rose we've had recently but filling the bill at a reasonable price. (1533 views) | | | Tasted by andrewdodd86 on 8/26/2016 & rated 80 points: Meh. Decent but not great. Funky and interesting as it's a Cali Rose from Rhone grapes, but not sure I love it. (1563 views) | | | Tasted by vino_per_tutti on 7/31/2016 & rated 86 points: Serviceable but otherwise innocuous vin gris. Meh. (1131 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 7/20/2016: A proper vin gris. BY proper Bonny means grapes picked at the appropriate sugar for Pink. Allot of battonage post fermentation. And it tastes like it as well. (657 views) | | | Tasted by DanSm on 6/24/2016 & rated 85 points: One of the best American rose. (511 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 6/11/2016 & rated 88 points: Light medium yellow color; citrus, lemon, pink grapefruit nose; citrus, lemon, pink grapefruit palate with good balancing acidity; medium-plus finish 88+ points (431 views) |

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."Rosé Blend"Rosé blend" can mean a blend of just about any varietals since the designation comes from the resulting color of the wine.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 CaliforniaNapa Valley.http://www.stagecoachvineyard.com/vineyards/our_vineyards.php
