| Community Tasting Notes (average 89 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by OregonWineGeeks on 10/10/2013 & rated 89 points: This Syrah from the Central Coast is a dark and inky red, keep this off the white carpet. The nose of this wine reminds you of a Cote Rotie with bit of barnyard, black olives, and a touch musty. The palate shows a heavy wine with deep earthy fruit with a bitter middle and long tannic finish. This is a powerful wine maybe a bit much for those who look for a softer Syrah. It may become a better wine with even more age. (1666 views) |
| Syrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. 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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
