Not that impressed, but wanted to like it so bad. (1404 views) | | | Tasted by sayward on 12/3/2015 & rated 88 points: Pop and pour. I am not sure that a decant would have made a big difference given the last glad was not to disimilar from the first. A lot of rhubarb on the nose. Maybe a little off on the nose given the abundance of fruit and lack of wood. Interesting wine but did not wow me.

Little high in alcohol and can taste it at first (15%), recommend a 30 min. decant. Great acidity with earthy flavors finishing with soft cherry and coco flavors. (2669 views) | | | Tasted by Eric Guido on 11/7/2012 & rated 90 points: The Rhone Rangers (City Winery, 155 Varick Street, New York, NY 10013): The nose showed rich red fruits, tart cranberry and spice. It was rich and concentrated on the palate with red and black fruits and dark chocolate. The finish was long with berry fruit, spice and gripping tannin. This was made in more of a full-throttle style than I usually prefer, but it was highly enjoyable. (3515 views) |
| Austin Hope Producer websiteGrenache Varietal character (Appellation America) - Read more about GrenacheUSAAmerican 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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
