| Community Tasting Notes (average 79 pts. and median of 81 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by pdev on 5/14/2015 & rated 82 points: Honey crisp apple, starts out well but ends up pretty tart/twangy. (1517 views) | | Tasted by fingers on 9/30/2014 & rated 74 points: By the glass at North Woods Inn. Much like the 2012 it is simple, dilute, and seems fundamentally based on rubbing alcohol. But that's being picky. 4+7+9+4 = 74 (2387 views) |
| The Hess Collection 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 North CoastThe North Coast American Viticultural Area (AVA) in California, covering more than three million acres, includes Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake counties, and portions of Marin and Solano counties.
