Take your time with this one. (1103 views) | | | Tasted by westcoastwannabe on 11/9/2012 & rated 90 points: Opened and tasted. Initially not too impressive, as the wine seemed closed and not offering much. After an hour of decanting, this zin showed exceptional depth and a nice pepper-fruit balance. Very nice. (1118 views) | | | Tasted by Ann&Wayne on 7/1/2012 & rated 86 points: We enjoyed it thought it had a little edge to it that made it seem young. It was a grassy kind of finish (1310 views) | | | Tasted by Vschnoll on 3/8/2009: Big, well-balanced, fruit-forward. Comparable to the more expensive Turley Dusi Zin (1831 views) |

[Four Vines Wine Club, 1/2010]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
