(275 views) | | | Tasted by Tim.Beauchamp on 6/27/2020: Buy again (207 views) | | | Tasted by slanum on 1/16/2020: Genuinely Chenin-like aromas, says Loire as much as it does California. The lanolin / wet wool thing is much in evidence. Flavors prominently feature that lanolin along with white-fleshed fruit and citrus. The price precludes a high degree of complexity but this is good and offers worthy QPR. (377 views) |

| Leo Steen Producer websiteChenin Blanc Varietal character (Appellation America)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 Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyDry Creek Valley Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley | Dry Creek Valley Association | Appellation America | San Francisco Chronicle Article |
