(719 views) | | Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 12/14/2019 & rated 87 points: Sunfish Cellars Napa Valley Extravaganza (Sunfish Cellars/I Nonni Minneapolis, MN): Very basic straight forward Napa Chardonnay. Oak, vanilla, spice and apple. Short to medium finish. (1074 views) | | Tasted by Rockclimber on 8/31/2019 & rated 90 points: Should be warmed slightly from the fridge. Citrus notes slight Apple not very Okie. (582 views) | | Tasted by Kathrynfore on 3/30/2019 & rated 87 points: The nose was very light citrus with a hint of apple. On tasting, it was like a very creamy Sauvignon Blanc with a lush mouthfeel, but the finish was more crisp. Did not go that well with baked salmon -- I think it would go better with chicken or cheese. (757 views) |
| Miner Family Producer WebsiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican 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 |
