| Community Tasting Notes (average 85.7 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by SWLS on 2/23/2011 & rated 84 points: Surprising and disappointing considering our other experiences with VC -- this had no vibrancy, no acidity; totally flabby; slightly minerally, watery taste; minerality could have been nice but was too brought down by the (lack of) structure; we had marked this down in CT as being from '08, but it turned out to be '06 in a tricky font, so perhaps a little past its prime (2014 views) | | | Tasted by tcfishler on 1/2/2008 & rated 87 points: Central Coast Trip: Subtly nutty, with a slight spiciness and waxiness to the fruit. Very minerally flavors are cool-toned but a little short. (2870 views) | | | Tasted by kstoddard on 8/18/2007 & rated 86 points: Made from 75% Roussanne and 25% Grenache Blanc. Limes and Grapefruit. Clean, crisp finish with a touch of bitterness. (2068 views) | | | Tasted by EMichels on 8/5/2007 & rated 84 points: Wally's Central Coast Tasting: Soft nose; Crisp; Slightly tart on finish; A good outdoor summer wine (3011 views) |
| Villa Creek Producer websiteWhite Rhone BlendA white wine containing two or more Rhône varieties, including: Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc. 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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
