 Tasted by Quiet Lion on 7/19/2017 & rated 92 points: Amazing QPR. Deliciously balanced bright white. (772 views)
 Tasted by Bobvogs on 4/29/2017 & rated 86 points: Continue to really like this wine. Not very complex but sweet and bold. Great for hot summer afternoons (586 views)
 Tasted by dsheahan on 5/7/2016 & rated 85 points: Delicate without being sweet with low acidity. I drank this after a glass of dry red so my palate may have been affected. (577 views)
 Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 6/7/2015 & rated 81 points: Light yellow color; tart pear gelee, floral, honeysuckle nose; sweet, lemon cream with powdered sugar, peach nectar palate with low acidity and residual sugar; short finish (13.4% alcohol) (375 views)
 Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 6/1/2015 & rated 83 points: Some Blind Cali Whites (My Place - Washington, DC): Light gold color. Explosive aromas, yellow apples and canned peachs, lychee, honeysuckle, orange blossom. Richly-textured and honeyed on the palate, low acid, the white peaches, bruised apple and apricot jam flavors are rich and bold. I also get honeysuckle, orange blossom and honey. A full-on display of tropical fruits and tons of floral qualities, but lacking in some freshness and non-tropical intensity. Roussanne, Muscat and Riesling with 1.6% residual sugar. (995 views)

White Blend

"White blend" means the wine is made from a blend of two or more different white varieties - or in some cases a blend of pink or red varieties that are vinified white, ie. without any skin contact.
A blend of Antao, Arinto, Rouperio.

USA

American 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.

California

2021 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
