Absolutely do not drink this cold though. It takes away the nice clove and dark berry flavors. (1179 views) | | | Tasted by Mossy on 9/5/2012 & rated 91 points: I love this wine. So distinctive and yet so comfortable. I could relax in a hammock on a nice evening with a glass, well bottle, and a good book. Glad I have one more bottle. (1425 views) | | | Tasted by Mossy on 3/22/2012 & rated 83 points: Too young yet. Let it rest for another 8-12 months at least. (1536 views) | | | Tasted by haldolugr on 12/10/2011 & rated 86 points: 2nd bottle of the night -had to follow a Williams selyem Pinot -tough to do. (1738 views) | | | Tasted by haldolugr on 11/28/2011 & rated 88 points: What an easy drinker...the carignane keeps the syrah in check and the mourvedre adds a nice bit of backbone. Decent fruit if a little muted but a great QPR. Very good!! Sunce can be hit or miss but this is a hit! (1723 views) |

Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce. 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 Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyRussian River Valley Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia |
