Candied fake fruit cheap white wine flavors. The finish lingers for about 20 seconds, reminding you how bad it tastes. (1243 views) | | Tasted by Chrisinroch on 6/17/2010 & rated 77 points: a bit hot and too much sweetness. No acidity or minerality to give it balance or make it interesting. I would seek out other wines for my viognier fix. (1226 views) | | Tasted by haldolugr on 4/11/2010 & rated 87 points: Creamy flavors of pear and pineapple. A little bit sweet for my tastes but made for a nice wine to sip on as a night cap. (1287 views) | | Tasted by mplsbruin on 8/10/2009: Fleshy, residual sweetness, almost Rieling-like notes. Strangely, I drank this wine at a tasting hosted by the winemaker last year. Much different and far better impression than. Ordered 2 bottles, gave 1 away as gift (need to warn Paul!). Nearly undrinkable - and with little change after 1 and 2 days. (1386 views) | | Tasted by Lou on 6/19/2009 & rated 90 points: Delicious fruit tastes of melon, honeydo and honey suckle. Long finish. (1010 views) | | Tasted by Colima74 on 5/28/2009 & rated 88 points: We had a couple of glasses with dinner, but that bit of RS made it a little off-putting with the food (chicken salad). Will try again tomorrow as a `cocktail' wine. (991 views) | | Tasted by Lou on 4/23/2009 & rated 87 points: Smoe floral flavors not much of a finish with some sweetness. Pleasant wine but fell short for me. (1003 views) | | Tasted by 2loyal on 11/29/2008 & rated 85 points: Not as fresh and crisp as when we bought it (on release). Maybe it was the spices in the sauce on the fish we ate with it, but the characteristic sour grapefruit component was a bit overwhelming. (1161 views) |

This is nonsense.USAAmerican 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 |
