| Community Tasting Notes (average 94.5 pts. and median of 95 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by SpenceP on 4/29/2023 & rated 92 points: Very dark brown, to the point where if you looked at it carelessly you'd assume it was a red wine. Extremely sweet and dense--brown sugar, figs, dates, and prunes, followed by an exceptionally long aftertaste, with candied orange peel, ending on a note of blackstrap molasses. Healthy acidity, balancing the sweetness. Still enjoyable, but this wine is clearly in decline, so if you have any of these in your cellar, the sooner you finish them the better.

(2510 views) | | | Tasted by syrahz on 10/23/2009 & rated 96 points: The last bottle I had several years ago was dark amber in color. Now this wine is the color of tawny port. Succulent and delicious, it was wonderful with flourless chocolate cake and chocolate covered strawberries.

| Beringer Vineyards Producer websiteUSAAmerican 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 |
