(279 views) | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 6/17/2015 & rated 91 points: Lodi Native 2013 (My Place - Washington, DC): The pale ruby colored immediately tells you that this is a different kind of Zin. The nose is bright and floral with red apple peels, wild strawberries, dusty earth and crushed charcoal. On the palate, fine tannins, accessible but still nice and drying, medium acid. Tart red currants and wild strawberries, red apple peel, the fruit has some spicy clove, black tea, dusty soil and charcoal accents. Smooth, even elegant. Long, refined, very deep but the lightest in style and alcohol. From a sandy loam vineyard planted in the 1940s, most of the fruit goes into Bedrock Wine Co. bottles, but glad Ryan Sherman got some of this juice.

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 Valley The Central California Winegrowers (Official site) | Central Valley (California Wine Institute) |
