Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 93 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by bsbrown05 on 12/11/2021: Very mild. Not the same as prior vintages. Hopefully more time in the bottle will be helpful. (1363 views)
 Tasted by PetWines on 2/26/2021 & rated 93 points: Beautiful expression of Sangiovese with a nose of roses that blossoms on the tongue with early sweetness then develops around the palate with the taste of rose oils, sourness along the lines of kumquats and delicate umami flavoring. A true full mouth sensation to be enjoyed on every taste.
Well done! (1985 views)

Sangiovese Blend

Sangiovese blend is used in CellarTracker for Italian wines to represent wines predominantly made of Sangiovese and blended with traditional Italian grapes. It is different than SuperTuscan which is a blend of Sangiovese with non-traditional (eg Bordeaux) varieties, often in closer to equal portions. For example, Chianti is at least 80% Sangiovese and will always be listed Sangiovese blend.

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
