The 2021 Petit Manseng (there is also 2% Chardonnay) is dry and comes in at 13.3% alcohol. It was aged for 11 months in mostly used wood (in turn, mostly French), although there is also a barrel of fermentation lees that contributes. The winery calls that its "Solera lees," started in 2017 in neutral wood. After a quick Chardonnay tasting, this was jarring, but awfully fine. The big acidity just grips the palate, but the combination of grapefruit and mango makes this delicious, too, in its stern and serious fashion. The wood gives it a certain overlay that never turns to vanilla. Then, there is the pure power. This is a lighter vintage than the last I saw, but it works well on its own terms and still seems impressive. It might even be better. The power and tension do mean that it will be best suited as a pairing for food, though, not a standalone sipper. It should hold for the rest of the decade, at least. It's a beauty.

Country: United States

Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.
