| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.6 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by mlwhitfi on 4/18/2013 & rated 90 points: A hint of sweetness, higher alcohol than I prefer. Hot alcohol on the nose (15.5%), cherry fruit, caramel, a touch of spice, cedar, and cardamon. A bit of residual sugar so leans toward late picked, but not quite.

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 CountyDry Creek Valley Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley | Dry Creek Valley Association | Appellation America | San Francisco Chronicle Article |
