| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.5 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by dsurdezoliver on 8/9/2014: Opened in 2014 way past date. Bad color. Offensive taste. A dated waste of what promised to be an exemplary wine. (994 views) | | | Tasted by Danishwine on 8/18/2007 & rated 92 points: Just right now, lots of power and fruit left, one of the better Zin's (2178 views) | | | Tasted by LotionInTheBasket on 11/17/2005 & rated 87 points: Solid berry nose, with a "dirty leather" texture, in a good way. On the palatte, smooth fruit on the tip, an (overly) tannic back, above average acidic quality that ends with a moderate finish. Was nice with a heavy meat sauce dish, and maybe for you to. Not the top of the line, but a nice choice for under 20 (which can be difficult today). (2168 views) | | | Tasted by SadEdjo on 6/23/2001: bright strawberry & soft tannins (1705 views) |
| De Loach Producer websiteZinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelUSAAmerican 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 Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyRussian River Valley Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia |
