Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by MoserJP on 9/23/2013 & rated 90 points: Citrus and vanilla with a mineral finish. A little one dimensional on the nose but the mouth feel is fantastic. Excellent use of oak here. The balance is seamless with loads of bright, well textured acidity rounding things out. A little more complexity would be nice but the texture and acidity make this wine undeniably delicious.

Chenin Blanc

Varietal character (Appellation America)

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.
