 Tasted by Randito on 3/21/2020 & rated 95 points: One of my fav Zin vineyards. (1075 views)
 Tasted by rbrater on 10/4/2019 & rated 92 points: Sweet nose of fruit and dark chocolate. Initial taste of berry jam followed by tobacco bites and spicy black pepper. (817 views)
 Tasted by jkvedar on 6/29/2019 & rated 90 points: Dark berries and vanilla on the nose. On the palate, fruit and spice! Not at all hot. A hit with barbecue! (1176 views)
 Tasted by newsguy1 on 4/19/2019 & rated 92 points: Poured through an aerator into a decanter, where it sat for nearly 90 minutes. Dark purple, nearly opaque, with a lighter meniscus. Boysenberry, black and blue berries, lots of zin spice, plus oak on the nose and the excellent palate. Good acid and slight, fine tannins. Can feel some heat from the 15.3% alcohol on the nearly 30-second finish. A little leaner in the mouth than I recall of previous vintages. I expect this to be at its best over the next 3 years or so; wouldn’t hold them for too long (though I have no personal experience with aging these). And I don’t see any need to decant longer than 1 hour. Even less would work. 91-93 points. (1098 views)
 Tasted by White Mountain Winos on 12/12/2018 & rated 92 points: Loads of potential here. Dark fruit flavors laced with solid acidity and tannins the need some time to soften. I'd bet the ratings on this will increase for those who can leave it alone to age gracefully for at lease a couple of years. (1356 views)

Fanucchi Wood Road Vineyard

On weinlagen-info

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.

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
