This wine was delicious at release, but not particlarly complex. Now at age 4.4 it is exploding with complexity and flavor, yet held down by smacking acidity and super well intergrated.. improved over 3 days open in Fridge.. Great with Chinese food from Mandarin Garden in Berkely, CA (1268 views) | | | Tasted by mrfroopy on 3/3/2013 & rated 93 points: Once again.. proof that their El Dorado Rhoney whites enjoy some bottle age.

On the palate crisp with more tropical fruit and a kernel of bitterness in the aftertaste. Expected a little more at this point but still Very Good. (2378 views) |

| Donkey and Goat Producer websiteWhite Rhone BlendA white wine containing two or more Rhône varieties, including: Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc. USAAmerican 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 Sierra FoothillsAmadorEl DoradoFair play |
