 Tasted by DbertCellar on 3/23/2020 & rated 89 points: Plum and a slight amount of tobacco aroma on the nose. Very pleasant. Smooth, with a slight amount of tannin remaining. (823 views)
 Tasted by cjsadler on 6/11/2019 & rated 87 points: Not much to like or dislike— simple sweet fruit. I do wonder if this would develop with time or air, but there isn’t much structure here. (1009 views)
 Tasted by Cluefairy on 4/23/2019: Meh (1086 views)
 Tasted by shelbri on 8/25/2018: The nose is sweet, but the wine is not. There is a black cherry character. (1220 views)

Syrah

Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)

Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent.

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
