 Tasted by dv002i on 4/25/2008 & rated 94 points: Deep and seductive dark chocolate, twisted with black cherry, and ripe plum finishing into straw and tobacco. Plum, coffee, and mixed berries intertwine creating a wonderful complex dance on the palate. Tannins are well integrated and finish continues on and on. This wine is magic! Drinking extremely well right now but this will peak in another 2-4 years. (2369 views)

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.

California

2021 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
