 Tasted by jjlobi on 11/26/2020 & rated 87 points: A smooth pleasant tasting every day wine. Medium body with a nice finish. Nothing remarkable, but overall a nice red. (589 views)
 Tasted by WagesOfZin on 8/23/2020 & rated 87 points: Fruit forward new world blend. Predominantly red fruits. A hint of baking spice, but this is very much a one hit wonder Lacking in tannic structure, maybe could use a touch more acidity as well. Drink it now, to be sure. Better than the usual grocery store suspects, but not enough to keep my attention by any means. (752 views)

 Tasted by Twopawsup on 10/12/2018 & rated 90 points: Pale purple color. Aromas of toasted oak, cassis and blackberry. Plum, chocolate and tea on the palate. Silky smooth finish with light tannins. Easy drinking wine on its own or would pair with most dishes. (846 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
