 Tasted by klezman on 7/22/2022: Losing a bit of steam, but in the moments where it was at its best it was fantastic still. (1340 views)
 Tasted by GraffCellar on 5/7/2022: Fading fast but still with a fresh, crisp acidity.
Fruit has waned, so drink now! (602 views)
 Tasted by klezman on 6/25/2021: 6 years old and (a bit surprisingly) starting to fade a bit. Maybe this vintage was less intense overall than some others, I don't remember. The wine is delicious - some of that meaty and funky Mourdevre goodness. Not a whole lot of fruit left. And the most surprising thing was that Buffalo wings made it seem sweet! (1953 views)
 Tasted by klezman on 12/25/2018: Always delicious. The first half of the bottle was full of funk and lively mineral. (1817 views)
 Tasted by klezman on 11/28/2017: Delicious, as always. Definitely does better warmer than fridge temperature. Earthy and a bit funky. It will be great to see how these age. (2054 views)
 Tasted by klezman on 7/14/2017: Excellent welcome to Yosemite with this nice and cold from the cooler. Earth and berries. Even better the second day, as this wine often is. (2019 views)
 Tasted by Anthonut on 1/4/2017 & rated 92 points: Always a pleasing rosé. Much like Larry's other offerings this gained extra complexity after being open for over a day. Seemed to gain a little bit of heft vs. racy acidity. Can't wait for the 2016. (1244 views)
 Tasted by Chrisinroch on 10/22/2016: Group loved this. Gone too fast for formal notes. (1328 views)
 Tasted by MillerRoad on 9/5/2016 & rated 91 points: Had a bottle earlier in the summer, and now drank this at the end of the summer. I remember I enjoyed the first bottle, but really liked this one. Lots of stone fruit, such as apricot and peach. Also had some tropical notes. Went well with Thai. Managed to get a magnum that I am now really looking forward to opening. (1176 views)
 Tasted by PIntag on 8/7/2016 & rated 90 points: This has been picking up some weight with each successive bottle and is drinking wonderfully right now. (1010 views)
 Tasted by brigcampbell on 7/24/2016: Excellent on a hot and steamy evening. beautiful fresh cut peach flavors. (941 views)
 Tasted by klezman on 7/2/2016: Delicious. Strawberries, watermelon, earth, herbs. Everything I like about this wine is repeated this vintage. (1863 views)
 Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 6/11/2016 & rated 89 points: Light pink yellow color; strawberry, cantaloupe nose; rich, medium bodied, strawberry, cantaloupe palate with balancing acidity; medium-plus finish (587 views)
 Tasted by Anthonut on 5/16/2016 & rated 91 points: Love the almost copper color and peach aromas. Always a winner! (749 views)
 Tasted by MillerRoad on 5/13/2016 & rated 91 points: Tasted like summer. Nice bright acidity. Tropical flavors of guava. Little bit of watermelon. (752 views)
 Tasted by Millennial Drinkers on 4/29/2016 & rated 92 points: First Rose of the tasting is the Mourvedre Rose from Tercero Wines. Absolutely beautiful in color, completely different than the Two Shepherds and the Scalon Cellars. Bright, clear and light orangey pink, almost like peach or beige. Nose was coated with white and tropical fruits such as guava, white peaches, lychee, and some light green apples. So much going on but a lot more complex than just the clean fruits. There was also a slight dirty fruit side accompanied with some light wood chips and wet stones as it warmed up. Strong acidity with a crisp, tangy, beautifully tart and refreshing body. Started out with guava and lychee on the palate that definitely brought out some additional tartiness in the white and red fruits. As it opened up there were some slight savory notes with a little wet grass like right after a rain storm. Very refreshing. Long and lingering finish. Was a little tight to start but by the end we were very impressed! Cannot wait to try more of the wines made by Larry. Highly recommend and drink till 2022. (1541 views)
 Tasted by bretrooks on 4/16/2016: Consumed one glass over each of two evenings, warming from fridge temp to cool room temp. Served with a chill, this was a bit closed...it opened somewhat when warmer. Pale salmon in color, fresh pithy citrus and subtle strawberry notes, good acid, and a lingering finish. Quality material, although I will wait on the next one to see if it develops a little and opens up given a little more bottle time. (776 views)
 Tasted by PIntag on 4/15/2016: Agree 100% with BRETROOKS' first note -- pretty tight when cold and becoming more expressive as it warms to room temp. First impression is that it's not on the level of the previous few vintages, but it's too early to really tell at this point. Will wait a bit to open the next bottle. (691 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
