(1218 views) | | | Tasted by JDV.DDSPHD on 9/28/2013 & rated 87 points: Decent sauvignon blanc. Not a lot of acidity and lacking a backbone for me. Ctirus notes of lemon peel, orange and grapefruit. The finish didn't last and overall just average. (943 views) | | | Tasted by midtownmac on 6/29/2013: Same as previous notes. A summer crowd pleaser. (864 views) | | | Tasted by Wrkolbeck on 5/17/2013 & rated 90 points: Nice crisp and well balanced Sauv Blanc. Good acid that paired well with some grilled swordfish skewers. (915 views) | | | Tasted by midtownmac on 11/23/2012 & rated 92 points: Really enjoy this wine. Nice citrus tones with some juicy acidity. Not the overwhelming grassy tones that can be a turnoff. Very nice wine. (596 views) | | | Tasted by smileBD on 10/6/2012 & rated 90 points: Nice fresh & crisp Sav Blanc with some depth & smooth finish. (310 views) |
| Schweiger Vineyards 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 Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma ValleySonoma County, California, is one of the most important winegrowing regions in the whole of the United States. Vines have been planted here since the 1850s and, apart from the inevitable hiatus brought about by Prohibition, the county's relationship with wine has been prolific and unbroken.
Viticulturally speaking, Sonoma County is divided into three distinct sections: Sonoma Valley, Northern Sonoma and Sonoma Coast. Each of these has its own AVA title and encompasses several sub-AVAs within its boundaries. |
