Pouring a jeweled ruby hue, the 2019 Nerello Mascalese Centennial Mountain Vineyard brings forward sun-kissed aromas of wild cherry, tarry earth, and crushed flowers. Juicy up front, this medium-bodied red offers a lot of immediate pleasure, although it certainly has notable balanced structure, with ripe tannins, refreshing acidity that lifts off the palate with ease, and a snap of orange-tinged citrus on the finish. It’s hard to resist now but should have a wide drinking window over the coming 8-10 years. ... More details

The 2019 Nerello Mascalese Centennial Mountain Vineyard is racy and pliant right out of the gate. Succulent red cherry, plum, spice, blood orange, mint and a kiss of French oak are nicely pushed forward. Drink this effusive Nerello Mascalese over the next decade or so. This is an especially charming vintage for the Aeris Nerello Mascalese.
Winery
The 2019 Nerello Mascalese is a classic rendition of this grape. It shows fresh red fruit, with great spicy and floral aromatics. The palate continues these and coats your mouth with the dusty tannins Centennial Mountain has become known for. It is clear that Nerello Mascalese has tremendous potential in California.

Region: California

California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Country: United States

The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.

Appellation: Sonoma Valley

Since the 1850s, Sonoma Valley has been recognized as one of the United States' most important and productive wine regions. Any visitor to the region will quickly understand just why Sonoma Valley has had so much success over the past hundred and fifty years, as the region benefits enormously from the wonderfully hot and dry climate it receives, alongside mineral rich soils, geological features such as thermal springs. Furthermore, the region has a rich wine heritage which gives the region a sense of pride and a determination to consistently put quality above quantity, and to make the most of the wide array of red and white wine grape varietals which flourish there. The Valley of the Moon, as it is affectionately named, is now widely understood to be home to many of North America's finest wines, and this is set to continue for many years to come.
