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

When it comes to New World wine regions, it is widely agreed that many of the finest wines are grown and produced in California. The long stretches of coastline and the valleys and mountainsides which come off them are ideal areas for vine cultivation, and for over a century now, wineries have found a perfect home in the hot, dry state, with many of the wines produced here going on to reach world class status. The state is greatly helped by the brisk oceanic winds which cool the otherwise hot and dry vineyards, which hold mineral rich soils covering vast areas and featuring many established wineries. The state is split into four main regions, the largest by far being the central valley which stretches over three hundred miles in length.

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.

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.
