| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.7 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Peech on 9/14/2013 & rated 93 points: nose of acetone, botrytis, orange blossom and honey. Nice pairing with the foie gras, as the acidity of the wine cuts the fat. (451 views) | | | Tasted by heshiegreshie on 6/14/2012 & rated 88 points: Raisin nose with a hint of apricot. Smooth sweetness and honeydew finish. Very lovely. (4630 views) | | | Tasted by kellersc on 3/6/2011 & rated 91 points: Very nice complex wine. (5271 views) | | | Tasted by Nancy&Chris on 6/27/2010 & rated 90 points: fantastic---very different from the bottle we had 18 months ago...more licorecy (5539 views) | | | Tasted by xsssiv1 on 7/6/2009 & rated 90 points: What a tasty little gem! (6014 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 4/14/2007 & rated 91 points: Wild and Gamey OL at the Youngs' (Yquem, Musar, Goubert, SQN and more) (Chez J.R. and Renee, San Jose, CA): Rich, super sugary coconut, vanilla, tropical nose; super sweet apricot palate with a note of crystallized ginger; long finish (2645 views) | | | Tasted by Chateau MaBi on 2/25/2006 & rated 92 points: Full of stone pit fruit flavors with apricots as the lead then peaches. Hints of sweet melon finish the lingering finish. Silken texture, which stays on the tongue. Enough sweetness but not cloying. The next best thing to a good Sautern that I've had in a long time.

(2732 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 5/29/2002 & rated 94 points: Winery: Rich gooey fruit, no acids to speak of, gasoline, noble rot smell; peach pie, apples, orange marmalade. (788 views) |

Producer websiteSauvignon Blanc Varietal CharacterUSAAmerican 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 |
