| Community Tasting Notes (average 93.5 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by N.Bonaparte on 10/4/2016 & rated 93 points: Same as prior reviews. This is quite young and requires a long decant. (1235 views) | | | Tasted by Jahull03 on 9/9/2016: Enjoyed this for wife's bday outside on a beautiful day, with tomatoes, figs and blue cheese. Just lovely. Bright lemon, touch of petrol and very significant minerality... Beautiful balance but I'll tell you, this is drinking YOUNG. Would love to try this in 5-15 years. Has a lot to say at room temperature, hours later (1071 views) | | | Tasted by N.Bonaparte on 7/26/2016 & rated 93 points: This bottle needed about 90 min to open up. The finish is outstanding. So much energy! Great balance. In prime and will hold for a while. (1267 views) | | | Tasted by N.Bonaparte on 1/11/2016 & rated 93 points: Outstanding. Needs 20 min in glass to open. Excellent finish and balance, crisp and very light- a relative bargain when compared to white burgundy. (1431 views) | | | Tasted by Mrbuzz on 5/14/2015 & rated 96 points: From 70yr old vines….100% SB, 147 cases…..another outstanding I Block…..bright and full of life…..creamy and vibrant yellow pitted, melon, grapefruit, tart lemon fruit….also with a little tropicalness with pineapple, banana skin and coconut water. The citrus is alive and dancing…but there is substantial cream and weight that really pleases the palate. Georgeous florals of lemon grass, blossoms, vanilla bean, white honey, coconut butter….plenty of minerality with crushed chalk and saline notes. So much expression and uniqueness……not only are you drinking tastiness…but history as well! Best wine Mondavi makes imo!

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)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
