| Community Tasting Notes (average 84 pts. and median of 84 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by brettlaurvick on 11/9/2007 & rated 82 points: I drank this over the course of 3 days. My first impression was like licking a cedar plank. It opened up though over the next couple days and actually kind of grew on me each day. It wasn't really balanced. Label says 16.2% alcohol and it showed. This wine was a gift included in a wine basket, so I do not know the price point. Based on taste alone, I would not buy it again.

Mellowed tannins bring out the dark plum and oak flavors. Drank it with Phil prior to a Chicken dinner. (1697 views) |

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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
