 Tasted by slywka7 on 7/17/2019 & rated 91 points: Aromas of honey, honeysuckle, tropical
fruit and jujyfruit. Flavors of honey, tropical fruit, orange marmalade and apricot. Ends with a 25-30 second finish with orange marmalade notes. Still a really nice desert wine. (1417 views)
 Tasted by PARAG0NN on 6/21/2019 & rated 60 points: apple/grape juice fruitiness thats def not for me (1235 views)
 Tasted by tomoem on 5/16/2018: A little acidic and closed at first but quickly after about 15 minutes (2nd sip) it was oh so creamy thick and fruity ! Maybe the drier wines contributed to this reaction but it totally changed after those few minutes.

Had with Michael Honig at CBCC. Stared with Honig Sauvignon Blanc 2017 Napa Valley, next was Honig Sauvingnon Blanc 2016 Rutherford, then Honig Cabernet 2015, then Honig 2007 Cabernet Sauvingnon, then Bertolucci Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, then Honig Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 and finally Honig late harvest Sauvignon Blanc 2016

This wine has up front apricot, melancholy tropical fruit at the mid palette and a finish laden with acidity which tells me this has time to improve. It is really viscous and rich. (1639 views)
 Tasted by slywka7 on 8/20/2017 & rated 91 points: Still a well made dessert wine but this just needs time to settle down in the bottle. (1650 views)

USA

American 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.

California

2021 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
