 Tasted by martcouz on 11/4/2012 & rated 82 points: Beaucoup trop corsé. Je n'ai pas apprécié. Amerture en fin de bouche. (3098 views)
 Tasted by Opusone99 on 3/12/2010 & rated 91 points: Titre 15,4%. Très somble. Nez puissant sur les fruits noirs, moka, notes vanillées et boisées. Très costaud en bouche, grosse concentration, quand même un bel équilibre compte tenu de tout le corps. Moins raffiné que le Petit Vice à mon sens, plus à l'état brut. Assez explosif. (3761 views)
 Tasted by Edv on 3/6/2010: Vin moderne marqué par le chêne: toasté, fumé et vanille, mais sans l'astreingence des tanins qui sont présents mais non asséchant. Un fruit très compoté, enveloppant, qui en donne plein la bouche. À besoin de temps en cave pour tout intégrer. 88-90 (3740 views)
 Tasted by paul canet on 3/6/2010 & rated 90 points: oeil: très foncé, violacé

Au nez comme en bouche, c'est puissant, les fruits foncés, le boisé, quelque peu vanillé. C'est un vin très concentré, explosif. Surement du à son jeune age, les différentes arômes ne sont pas encore bien intégrés. à Revisiter dans quelques années certainement. (3749 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
