| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.7 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by melvinyeowq on 9/3/2021: More well known as Antle Vineyard. Very lovely drink, exuberant fruits of green apple and pear without being too ripe or exotic. The wine has a full mouthfeel but yet retains great subtlety, not your dilute French supermarket Muscadet for sure. One of the few wines that I regret not backing up the truck for (and unlikely I'd have the chance to get more unfortunately), this was an absolute steal for the price. (531 views) | | | Tasted by Tony Simo on 3/29/2021 & rated 90 points: High in acidity, needs food. Once paired with a chicken and chorizo dish the wine tamed and was quite enjoyable. Given the acid backbone I suspect it will age for 5-7 more years (194 views) | | | Tasted by Shiaxonna on 4/28/2020 & rated 88 points: Started out a bit weak on the nose and palate. But after some hours of air it blossomed and the nose shows tropical fruits, some alcohol, but not unpleasant in any way. The palate is intense and balanced. Not overly acidic, but has an animal oily quality to it which is subdued and diminished with air. A good wine. (505 views) | | | Tasted by Bobo mejor on 10/31/2019: Very good. Drink early 3-5 years. Varietal. (637 views) | | | Tasted by ashikoh on 9/28/2019 & rated 89 points: lemon, lime, oyster shell, floral notes; bone dry, Muscadet-style, mouthwatering acidity, only 11.8% ABV; sourced from Rodnick Farm formerly known as Antle Vineyard, 1800 feet elevation, moderate coastal influence, decomposed granite and limestone soils; whole cluster pressed, spontaneous fermentation in concrete egg, aged on the lees 6 months; $27 (613 views) | | | Tasted by jb@jbisme.com on 8/31/2019 & rated 90 points: Brief hint of lemon on the nose. Banana leaf, sour apple, light pear and balanced salinity on the palate. Super dry. (587 views) | | | Tasted by willschenk on 5/1/2019 & rated 91 points: From what I’d call one of California’s grand cru vineyards, this is all lemon, lime, warm sand, seashells, and mineral texture, with a finish that should fatten a bit with time. Very pure and precise, with aging upside. (387 views) | | | Tasted by Shiaxonna on 2/14/2019: Very good, drank a bit late at night. Cannot rate. (736 views) | | | Tasted by oropeza on 9/26/2018: Lemon and lots of minerality. Really narrow finish, not quite what I was hoping for (California Muscadet? I guess... "kind of silly to hope for that" she says) but interesting nonetheless. (385 views) | | | Tasted by Bakerbd on 8/8/2018 & rated 90 points: Crisp, saline, refreshing (731 views) | | | Tasted by RajivAyyangar on 5/29/2018 & rated 90 points: Cala Winemaker Takeover (Jolie-Laide, Scar of the Sea, Jaimee Motley (Cala, SF): Mineral and high-acid. A fantastic riper Muscadel-Style Melon. Taut citrus notes - ripe Meyer lemon. Unique texture and rich flavor - probably due to lees influence - it’s almost like faintly toasted marshmallow with hint of graham cracker. No oak, no malo. (1133 views) |

| Jolie-Laide Producer websiteMelon de BourgogneMelon de Bourgogne or Melon is a variety of white grape grown primarily in the Loire Valley region of France. It is also grown in North America. It is best known through its use in the white wine Muscadet.
In the U.S., Federal law prevents "Muscadet" from being used for American-produced wine; only the full name of the grape, or the shortened "Melon" can be used.
Source: WikipediaUSAAmerican 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
