USA Container Tasting 2023
American wine is an exciting story, and it is getting even better every
vintage. JAMES SUCKLING
We have long been fans of the wines coming out of the USA and it's always been unfortunate that we don't get to see more. For those that have traveled through the country, you will understand just how much good wine is being made there with an industry that very closely resembles ours in many ways. And like Australia, for the longest time, only the biggest producers and those with the deepest pockets were making their way to our shores. Well, all that has changed, and rapidly so with a slew of great wines here already or on the way that will only further diversify an already exciting selection.
Driven by an ever-growing savvy consumer base in the US the days of the over-hyped wine labels, Parker Point winners with super-charged fruit and oak to match are coming to an end. The focus has distinctly shifted to quality-conscious producers and the discovery and understanding of 'better' terroirs. Many of the wines now being produced show real finesse, complexity, and wonderful depth, that once again parallels our own vinous evolution.
Below is the latest and greatest to hit our shores in recent months from across the west coast of this great land. It's genuinely exciting to see so much great wine making its way to our shores and this will be a celebration of all that makes the USA great with the latest vintages and producers all in one spot.
