| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 7/20/2022 & rated 91 points: Retail $25. 100% Grenache. Carbonic maceration. Last year, I liked this wine, maybe even a lot. This year? Our relationship might just be getting more serious. As a fan of the wines from Beaujolais, I approach American Carbonic Maceration wines with some skepticism. The Beaujolais have a long history of making wines this way and it works on so many levels. Many producers in the U.S. see the method (and the wines) as cute little playthings where they like to feel esoteric and clever. That is not Troon. At. All. While this wine is certainly joyful and fun, Troon takes its winemaking seriously and it shows. Sure, the fruit is the story upfront, but there is also incredible balance and a joie de vivre that really comes through. As with most new wines and techniques at Troon, there is a bit of a learning curve and it seems to be accelerated here. Bravo.

The nose is lovely and fresh with rhubarb, rose petals and pepper over top of juicy raspberries and cherries, with some tar and charcoal elements. The palate is dusty and fresh with a crunchy, fresh vibe, and flavors of cherries and raspberries. Dusty tannins and brisk acidity, with tones of violets, white pepper, charcoal and rose hips. Fun and lively but a lot of complexity as well. All whole-cluster Grenache fermented in stainless steel with two weeks of carbonic maceration. (533 views) |
| Troon Vineyard Producer websiteGrenache Varietal character (Appellation America) - Read more about GrenacheUSAAmerican 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.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board) |
