| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.3 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 14 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by CPSchoeff on 8/19/2019 & rated 91 points: Magnum: Golden yellow. A: lots of spices, clove and baking spices, vanilla, all overshadow some yellow plum. F: more about texture than any particular flavors, it is oily, waxy, creamy, a bit of that vanilla and spice, some tropical fruit. So close to being too fat... then a solid kick of freshness in the finish, and it’s back for another sip. Has its merits chilled and cellar temp.
No rush from my perspective, but also seems to be drinking quite well. Oh well, my only bottle is gone anyway! (551 views) | | | Tasted by JKelly05 on 6/25/2018: from Magnum.
Med body, waxy, oily goodness i love in Rousanne.
Strong Banana flavors, toasted almonds, vanilla, honey.
Drank at cellar temperature. (733 views) | | | Tasted by silton on 7/1/2012 & rated 92 points: Harmonious and mature, showed best on the warm side after a decant. Silky gold, brilliant with halibut. Drink now-?? (1917 views) | | | Tasted by rmodak on 6/28/2010 & rated 90 points: Peaches, minerals with a hint of petrol give the wine a rich midpalate with lanolin texture while the finish remains crisp. (2203 views) | | | Tasted by stoll on 11/8/2009: My first Roussanne so can't give a rating - On day one I hated it, weird smell, weird taste and oily, never had anything like it. Day 2 and 3 I really started liking it, just took getting used to it. I get the herbal tea thing. Very curious how this fares against others, as I always like the Copains. Looking over what I just wrote it seems like I'm talking about something entirely different than wine.

Crisp and light, good stone fruit (1648 views) | | | Tasted by silton on 8/8/2009 & rated 90 points: Gorgeous fruit provides the foundation to this taut and stony Roussanne. Strong hold. (1621 views) | | | Tasted by Hershey in CA on 7/2/2009 & rated 87 points: Slightly underripe pineapple, wiht hints of peach & nectarine, a decent sptriz of perfume (which was a tad hot on the finish) for a nice wine. (1814 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 4/23/2009 & rated 89 points: Winery: Alomond w/hay, glue, citrus back drop; tons of a’s, clean, long sharp fin. Great stuff. 90? (558 views) | | | Tasted by amateurwino on 3/17/2009: very nice - floral, sweet fruits (1786 views) | | | Tasted by gutt22 on 3/14/2009: Absolutely gorgeous wine. Full of stony minerals on the nose. A crisp, delightful wine on the palate that still seems quite wound up at this stage. A really lovely drink.

Producer Location (Google Maps)Roussanne Wikipedia | Varietal character (Appellation America)James Berry VineyardUnder the expert care of Justin Smith, James Berry Vineyard has quickly established itself as one of the premiere Rhône varietal vineyards in the state. The “Carlisle” block of James Berry Vineyard is located just below the terraced “Bone Rock” section and is planted to Syrah clones 470 and 174. Justin practices sustainable farming, using no chemical fertilizers or pesticides. And with the limestone laden soils and devigorating rootstock, the vines struggle, yielding small quantities of intensely flavored fruit.

On weinlagen-infoUSAAmerican 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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
