| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by Javachip on 4/29/2010 & rated 91 points: Fill into neck, perfect capsule and cork. Clear pale light ruby core, becoming salmon at the edge. Light, dusty, port-like bouquet of strawberry jam, potpourri, milk chocolate, roast cashews, and nougat. Fresh and tart on the palate. Continued to improve over 60 minutes. Greatly exceeded my expectations. A delightful surprise. (1527 views) |

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 |
