| Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 10/13/2017 & rated 88 points: Virginia Governor's Cup Case: Golden orange color. Aromas of peach nectar, honeycomb, floral shampoo and olive oil. Plump and sweet on the palate but some moderating acidity (always nice from this grape), balances it out quite nicely. Creamy pear, apple pie, orange marmalade flavors, backed up by candied ginger, lemon meringue, almond bars and brown sugar. Lovely example of the quality of Petit Manseng dessert wines coming out of Virginia. 10% residual sugar, 13.5% alcohol.

While it is beautifully sweet, the hints of gentle acidity come back in the finish (not to attack)
The initial attack is heavy honey and white fruits and then it softens smoothly. (630 views) | | | Tasted by Millennial Drinkers on 5/21/2016 & rated 91 points: Purchased at the estate to try out after our tasting. Pure golden yellow, not at the same level of intensity as a Sauternes or Vin de Constance. Nose was covered in dried apricots, light pineapple and complex floral notes. Not syrupy thick but a decent viscosity. Lots of honeysuckle and dried white fruits. Moderate body with a delicate finish. Drink till 2023. 305 cases produced. (671 views) |
| King Family Vineyards Producer websitePetit Manseng Varietal Character (Appellation America) | Petit Manseng (Wikipedia)USAAmerican 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.Virginia Virginia Wines (Virginia Wineries Association) |
