 Tasted by jfalconeiii on 11/15/2023 & rated 92 points: 2017 vintage opened in Nov 2023. Very good and may have some more to go in cellar. Spicy (with some black licorice present) and jammy with great balance of tannins and a soft finish; but feels a bit young; like I should have waited a few more years to open it. Yet, I’m not complaining and love this wine. (122 views)
 Tasted by jfalconeiii on 2/25/2022 & rated 95 points: Excellent wine. Frankly, I’ve never had a mediocre wine from Terraces. As soon as I poured the first glass, I could tell this wine was going to impress just from the aroma. Very dark ruby in color; and the hints of licorice and cherry are very prominent, yet not overwhelming such that the wine is able to develop its various flavors on your palate as you sip it. Tannins are well-balanced and make this a very drinkable wine. Pairs well with pizza for sure! (386 views)
 Tasted by AlphaMikeFoxtrot on 1/16/2021 & rated 90 points: Ripe red and dark fruits, vanilla, coffee, chocolate. Definite oak influence; but I like it. Medium tannns (probably also from the oak), good acid. (711 views)
 Tasted by winestlouis on 10/16/2020 & rated 89 points: Deep red with some purple, plenty of color in the legs. Nose of wood (cedar?), pepper, roses and dark fruit. On the palate: med body, pepper is back from the nose, white pepper too, dark fruit flavors, ripe plum and extracted. Lower acid. Med tannins, maybe some oak tannins. Dark extracted flavor finish. Long finish. (696 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
