| Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by VinoMike59 on 12/25/2018 & rated 91 points: Nice sauv without overpowering grapefruit or grass- touch of mineral (679 views) | | | Tasted by ikkaariainen on 11/16/2018 & rated 89 points: A reasonable QPR at our acquisition cost. Would not immediately place this in Napa Valley but also definitely not in New Zealand either - not that level of acidity, citrus and lemongrass. Clean, crisp, pale yellow with an initial zing out of the bottle which settled down quickly. Probably has another 1-2 good years with proper cellaring but not built for any kind of long haul. Nose bright and acidic with a hint of bubbles / effervescence and yellow lemon. Palate a bit warmer with orange and citrus but also mango and white peach. Virtually no aftertaste at all. Recommend this for lovers of a clean, crispy and lean but not overly citrusy and lemongrassy NZ style of SB. (885 views) | | | Tasted by GTFreek on 7/17/2018: Medium plus nose shows clean style, straw, white flowers, persimmon, lemon zest, wet stone. Palate adds new notes, more tropical, kiwi, mango, orange peel, candied guava, citrus finish. Acidity medium plus, alcohol integrated (13.8%), dry finish. Tasty and versatile. (705 views) |
| Burly Producer websiteSauvignon Blanc Varietal CharacterUSAAmerican 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 Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners) |
