| Community Tasting Notes (average 88 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by shakedown on 8/19/2010 & rated 86 points: Last bottle of a case, not much fruit left compared to five years ago but still a decent drink. If you blind tasted this now you would would be hard pressed to figure out the varietal. Sweet oaky briar/pruny nose, sweet entry with strawberry overtones, the finish is still quite nice with juicy acidity making you want more.

(2156 views) | | | Tasted by shakedown on 5/2/2009 & rated 87 points: Losing some fruit so you are left with more oak. Drink up if you got some. (2161 views) | | | Tasted by shakedown on 1/3/2009 & rated 89 points: smooth and easy drinking but losing a bit of its zinfandel spicy character.

| The Terraces Producer websiteZinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelUSAAmerican 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 |
