The wine region of Rhode Island
Smallest US state (New England), included in the Southeastern New England AVA, temperate maritime climate moderated by the Atlantic, 180-day growing season. Chardonnay is the signature white king: fresh and straight with green apple, pear, citrus, white flowers and a briny mineral touch, vibrant Atlantic acidity. Taut Riesling and aromatic Vidal hybrid as whites. Spiced Cabernet Franc and airy Pinot Noir as cool-climate reds.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
