| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.6 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Mspiggy on 4/20/2015 & rated 91 points: Nose heavily berries. Smooth and cherry aftertaste on the palate. Good by itself and with food. (1029 views) | | | Tasted by sonodoc on 3/31/2014 & rated 88 points: Nice nose of plum and blueberry. On the palate there is not a lot of fruit left, so I think that I left this a little too long. Earthy, and still somewhat tannic. This is not a wine to drink on its own, but shows the power of food pairings. I didn't like it much by itself, but when I continued drinking it with lasagna and a truffle Mac and cheese, it paired fairly nicely.

(1446 views) | | | Tasted by behm0027 on 10/26/2010 & rated 88 points: Aromas of plum, flint, and forest floor on the nose. Cherry on the palate. Firm acidity and light tannins. Spicy pepper on the finish.

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 |
