| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by stufis on 1/30/2010 & rated 89 points: Drank right this after a Lagier-Meredith of the same vintage...(which got a 92 from me over dinner). Served with a grilled marinated Sirloin. Solid palate, just a tad weak on the follow-through compared with the L-M...but very good vis-a-vis other Paso Syrahs. Follow-up after 2 hours...This compared nicely against the L-M after a whiie...might be missing the mid-palate, but very nice. worth thst 89...plus.

(1597 views) | | Tasted by alwebb2000 on 7/5/2008 & rated 89 points: Forrest floor, mushrooms, and an earthy quality dominate, not nearly as fruit forward as the 93. More restrained and similar to a decent Northern Rhone in style. (2795 views) |

Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. Reserve The Wine News | Wine Country This Week | Wine Lover's PageUSAAmerican 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
