(2672 views) | | Tasted by Mrbuzz on 8/4/2011 & rated 85 points: More ox and less fresh tropical fruit than the first two bottles. Definitely not as good. (2795 views) | | Tasted by Mrbuzz on 7/6/2010 & rated 92 points: Why someone would let this wine go on Winebid for $5 is beyond me? Their loss...my gain! I LOVE these wines.....very unique....and this 10 yr old is holding up just fine! Bright yellow, young looking color....nose is all tropical, with a grapefruit/celery stick bite to it. Very exotic tropical flavors in the mouth....coconut sun tan lotion, pineapple, grapefruit, banana creme pie......alive with tart lemon citrus, minerals, some smoked pineapples on banana leaf and cedar planks. Exotic and still fresh...not as balanced as other vintages though....some rough edges.......but tasty. I can see if you are not acustomed to these type wines, that they might throw you. They are like nothing else in Napa Valley. Very unique, and might be off putting to some. For me.....they are not. Great stuff! (2905 views) |

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 |
