 Tasted by MichielV on 1/14/2024 & rated 91 points: After dinner drink. Very solid sweet wine, not overpowering, very elegant. Good longish finish. (375 views)
 Tasted by mmm4763 on 12/25/2023: Paired with Honeybaked Ham...delightfully sweet and complemented the dish. Syrupy texture and drank well alone as well. Loved it. (318 views)
 Tasted by Joeyskills on 11/28/2023 & rated 94 points: Better than a year ago. Very nice, lively, lots of pear. Floral on the nose for a dessert wine. (406 views)
 Tasted by klezman on 9/1/2023: This was very good - and got better with air and a touch warmer than fridge temperature. Lychee, spices, flowers, just barely enough acidity to keep it balanced. (662 views)
 Tasted by Wine_Poobah on 7/3/2021 & rated 92 points: Super ripe pear, peach, mango, lychee, roses, and perfume notes with a nice citrus backbone. Rose water and orange zest finish. Yummy but syrupy sweet — dessert in a glass. Expensive. (1438 views)
 Tasted by winepog on 3/20/2021 & rated 92 points: Lovely wine. Would normally age this a while, but a confluence of events lead to a young opening. Honeysuckle and lychee. All in good balance. Outstanding match with homemade vanilla ice cream. (1195 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
