| Community Tasting Notes (average 88 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by blank3b on 6/1/2015 flawed bottle: Waited too long - wine was bad (1904 views) | | | Tasted by vintagedds on 8/4/2014 & rated 88 points: The wine looks inky colored. The legs are very slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like raisins and currants. It tastes like grape jelly jam. The wine has a long syrupy finish with low acidity. If you are looking for a very sweet port, this is the one. (2027 views) | | | Tasted by tarheel17 on 9/25/2008 & rated 85 points: whoa. Sweet sweet welches. With raisins. This is powerfully sweet, cloyingly so. Meh....I guess it needs some dark chocolate, but it is just way too much for me. Not balanced by enough acidity. I think the house sweet tooth would like it.... (3094 views) | | | Tasted by joshwoodward on 4/17/2008 & rated 91 points: Porty nose, raisiny. Very raisiny taste, medium sweet. Not much acid, but that's ok here. Medium body. Juicy. (2868 views) | | | Tasted by loriannkru on 3/24/2007: Decent flavor, very berry and nice, but no acidity to hold it up. (3314 views) |
| Meeker 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 Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyRussian River Valley Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia |
