| Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Vinacull on 5/27/2008 & rated 90 points: Color deep straw, clear. Evolved nose of lemon and pineapple, minerals, distinct butterscotch, creamy vanilla, and initially some strong oak that diminished after half an hour. This was at least medium bodied, with considerable glycerin giving it weight and viscosity in the mouth. Fruit was intact, big and ripe, predominantly lemon and the previously noted butter along with some spiciness in a lengthy finish. Oak was quite well integrated. Biggest distraction was that the acid level has largely fallen off, leaving the fruit flat, which was not a problem given we consumed this more by itself than with food. Also an acceptable tradeoff to get the additional nuances of an aged chardonnay in the nose and taste. Overall an excellent showing for a well made wine given we acquired this only in the last year and I am certain the storage conditions were room temp at best for the previous 6-7 years.

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 North CoastThe North Coast American Viticultural Area (AVA) in California, covering more than three million acres, includes Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake counties, and portions of Marin and Solano counties.
