| Community Tasting Notes (average 88 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by ohne_musik on 7/10/2019 & rated 92 points: Wow, my previous bottle must have been a bad one. This is just stunning. A beaut. profusely floral, lemony aromatics. In the mouth it’s kicking ass with an electric spine of acid, citrus-infused honey, white flowers, pineapple, lots of complexity, waxy texture, and just pops in the mouth. Going to change my previous rating from 85 to flawed. (1001 views) | | | Tasted by Tony Poli on 6/20/2019 & rated 90 points: Light straw color. Pretty nose, some floral notes, citrus, a bit of honey. I was surprised by the palate, having read the previous notes. Lots of acidity, citrus, primarily lemon notes, good mouthfeel. Med/long finish. Not a tremendous amount of complexity, but a nice summer quaffer. (862 views) | | | Tasted by ohne_musik on 4/18/2019 & rated 85 points: Rather disappointed in this. Perhaps over the hill. Exotic perfume of candles, flowers and stone fruit was promising, but in the mouth it was tired and flabby. Insufficient acid, muddled fruits and flowers, and a hollow mid-palate, despite a nice mouthfeel. Reminds me of a CdR blanc in a warm year. (992 views) | | | Tasted by M4 on 12/31/2017 & rated 85 points: Just not much taste, sweet smell and fine taste, but little taste (1218 views) | | | Tasted by ISOPinot on 11/23/2017: Aromas of tree fruit, honey, hint of tea and straw. On the palate, citrus flavors are distinct with a bit of honey and melon. Positives: a dry, food-friendly wine even though predominant grapes of Muscat Canelli and Arneis often yield sweetness. Negative: At $25 plus tax and shipping, QPR substantially below average. A nice alternative to Chardonnay, but there are many options well below $15 to substitute. Drink now. (1380 views) |
| Idlewild Producer websiteWhite Blend"White blend" means the wine is made from a blend of two or more different white varieties - or in some cases a blend of pink or red varieties that are vinified white, ie. without any skin contact.
A blend of Antao, Arinto, Rouperio. 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 North CoastThe North Coast American Viticultural Area (AVA) in California, covering more than three million acres, includes Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake counties, and portions of Marin and Solano counties.
