This was close to stunning. Evocative nose of crushed stones, flowers, apricot and citrus. On the palate this has both weight and zippy acidity. We loved this wine and the pairing.

Nose has light apricot, flowers, spice and stones/minerals, suggesting a Condrieu. But the mouthfeel was a bit heavier than that. It had a waxy almost thick/honey sensation, but finished with nice acidity and persistent flavors. (1649 views) | | | Tasted by OneLastSyrah on 4/1/2006: Pinots at Campania: Bright, lemony nose. Not heavy with stone fruit. Concentrated, somewhat full-bodied. Not overly sweet. Smells a little sour on the nose. Okay. (1477 views) | | | Tasted by Badfish on 3/21/2006: The intense color and thick texture of this wine reminds me of a light Sauternes. Wonderful citrus, flower, honey, and earthy spice components really make this a monster white. Definitely a ripe fat wine with a touch of heat but there is acidity present and the balance is good. The complexity, waxy mouthfeel, and honeyed finish are truly compelling. Maybe I just really like the Copain whites but I think this is a stunning elixir.

Sweet, loose entry on palate. A bit short on the finish. Competent, but not exciting at all. (3260 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 2/3/2006 & rated 89 points: Bistro Verdu: Nice expressive ripe melon and some tropical fruit notes; very good focus, clean finish.***Well balanced fruity white w/french, minerally understatement. (307 views) | | | Tasted by elliott.h.farber@gmail.com on 10/29/2005 & rated 91 points: Served with mussels in a wine/tomato broth. Clear golden yellow with a shy nose. Crisp citrus flavors with apricots and floral notes in a very blanced package. Very well done. (1644 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 |
