Community Tasting Notes (average 88 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Seanwsmithm3 on 6/24/2021: Translucent medium red in the glass. Beautiful forest floor, mushroom, red fruit, and funk on the nose. Very complex on the nose and keeps evolving. A beautiful savory character with red fruits on the palate. Bracing acidity throughout with that forest floor carrying through. Med finish dominated by fruit, savory notes, and acid bouncing around. The tannins are soft and well integrated. Delicous wine. Should pair well with food or served stand alone. (299 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
