(961 views) | | | Tasted by jtaylor3 on 6/4/2013 & rated 90 points: Had a "leftover" bottle. Outlasted the drinking window and quite enjoyable. Still with a floral bouquet but citrus has given way to an almost licorice aroma. Palate quite full and bold. Long finish for a Viognier. Glad I held onto this by accident. Ages quite nicely.

Went great with some sliced pears on the patio. (3487 views) | | | Tasted by mklasing on 10/25/2010 & rated 90 points: Really amazing citrus taste. Paired GREAT with stuffed mushrooms and smoked provolone cheese. Great mid-day outside kind of wine. (3726 views) | | | Tasted by Esfauth on 9/28/2010 & rated 90 points: Light, bright and smooth.

(2337 views) | | | Tasted by t4drman on 5/15/2010 & rated 90 points: Here is an interesting off shoot white wine you can really sink your teeth into and discover some nice combinations with. While I don't have the expertise to properly catergorize this wine, I can tell you what it paired with to a tee. Having a roasted chicken, broccoli, and a salad with this wine, one particular element from the meal lit it on fire, those being the kalamata olives. Whereas the wine was working just fine with the aforementioned items, when eating one of these olives from the salad and immediately taking a sip of this viognier, it entered another dimension. Gone was the crisp acidity and in its place the creaminess and texture of a delicious wine. The transformation was fun and educational at the same time and made it clear how important it is to try wines with individual components of a meal as well as in their entirety. Have fun with this one, and if you can get it under $20, pick one up. It's a great alternative to the usual Sauv Blancs and Chards you're drinking. (2185 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 Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
