| Community Tasting Notes (average 89 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by Apollo5710 on 7/23/2006 & rated 89 points: Very good pinot blanc, with the expected buttery aromas and tropical fruits and nuts as well! Very pleasant and easy to drink. Definitely enough fruit to hide the rather high 14.3% alcohol level. Somewhat oily on the palate with very attractive grapefruit and pineapple flavors. A little butterscotch emerged as it breathed. Possibly peaking at the moment, and drinking well! (2013 views) | | Tasted by Paul from the Oblong Table on 6/12/2005: More than adequate--not a repeater. I realize that the notes are inconsistant. (1423 views) | | Tasted by Paul from the Oblong Table on 4/9/2005 & rated 89 points: Very big number, especially for White. Crisp and tasty when served at the correct temperature. (89) (1409 views) |

| Arrowood Producer web sitePinot Blanc Varietal character (Appellation America)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 Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyRussian River Valley Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia |
