Tasting- Shannon Ridge

Shannon Ridge High Elevation Collection

Country of origin: USA

Region of origin: California

Vintage year: 2021

Shop/wine critic/winery review of the wine: "Warmer than expected, buttery and elastic, very pleasant, low acid and quite a level of richness." Wine align website


Reference from Wine Folly text: From the text page 96 it mentions how some flavors can include pineapple with citrus. When I took at the wheel on the page over it shows that pineapple is in the tropical fruit category and the citrus taste could be either form a lemon or lime peel. The apple is in the tree fruit/melon category where as I dont see the cherry smell anywhere on the chart.


My personal review of the wine: The first smells I got notes on pineapple, apple, and cherry. It smelled sweet to me and the smells enhanced as i kept swirling. My first initial sip tasted like bitter apple and citrus. I really like the flavors of this wine and it aromas it brings. It leaves a fresh taste at the end which is quite enjoyable.
