    2006年 浮士德 赤霞珠

    酒庄主是一位在纳帕谷的重要人士,也是另一家更高端的Quintessa酒庄主的堂兄弟。这款酒闻起来有黑莓,桉树,大地的味道。丰富的口感似乎是由众多种味道融为而成:黑葡萄干,可可/巧克力,甚至一些南瓜派混合香料的触感。有水果味,但是单宁略微有些重,且酒有点“热“(14.5%酒精度)使它看起来有点不够平衡。一个给力的中等长度的余味还略带甜味。总之相比起来在纳帕其他较为昂贵的邻居来说这是一款相当不错的酒,可以尝试架烤牛排和它搭配。极力推荐。 标签:2006年,美乐,品丽珠,赤霞珠,加利福尼亚州,浮士德,Faust,马尔贝克,纳帕谷,小味儿多,Quintessa,红葡萄酒,酒评,酒

    清晰,明亮,柔和的金黄色。中等浓度的梨香,杏香,焦糖布丁香及矿物质的味道。味道上为干白,中等酸度,中等酒精度,和梨,苹果,柑橘,柠檬水的风味。口腔里的明显的温热表明了略高的酒精度。中等长度的余味。与水果味沙拉搭配是首选。推荐级别。 标签:Cristom葡萄园,埃奥拉-友好山,俄勒冈州,灰皮诺,品酒笔记,白葡萄酒,威拉米特谷,酒

    如果你认为所有加州西拉是酒体重且浓郁的水果味,那这款从埃德蒙兹圣约翰(Edmunds St. John)的2009 Wylie会让你重新审视西拉在加州的特点。这是一款果汁浓郁且让人垂涎的酒,有着相当愉悦的余味。明亮清澈的红宝石/石榴石的颜色,它比​​起大多数加州的酒的话更于法国罗讷(Rhône)北部的酒。在香气和口味而言,它是既活泼又十分令人兴奋的酒,从辛香味(香菜,白胡椒)渐渐向像丹麦的樱桃味糖浆类的味道转移。另一点令人回味的是还具有根汁汽水的味道,以及一点点肉香,像干腌猪肉或陈年牛肉干。总之这是一款非常令人满意的,易于佐餐的葡萄酒。 标签:2009年,加利福尼亚州,Edmunds St. John,埃德蒙兹圣约翰,红葡萄酒,西拉,酒评,酒

    青椒味,并有悠悠的麝香草味道。有一丝黑莓的味道,但没有强烈的水果味和柔和的草本味道。不过这款酒当然是意大利的日常畅饮的不二之选。搭配意大利面条或者香肠都是好的选择。推荐级别。 标签:2009年,意大利,普里米蒂沃,Primitivo, 普利亚,Puglia,红葡萄酒,酒评,Vini del Sole,酒

    2009 巴蒂斯特屈弗利耶 Cuvée Del Maule

    2009年,智利考克内斯(Cauquenes)地区遭受了可怕的地震,倒也成就了一段和地震有关的“风土”故事。这次地震在那里造成了重大的破坏,自然当地的酒厂也不能幸免。很多的橡木桶被散落异处。酿酒师巴蒂斯特屈弗利耶(Baptiste Cuvelier)拾起这些依旧幸存的酒桶,混合放入了同样尚存的葡萄酒,但结果却是产生了惊人的好酒。所有的葡萄在这里都是被公平贸易并且是有机生长。葡萄酒中柔和的单宁和清爽的果酸像是在你的舌尖偏偏起舞般跳跃,这样平衡的酒体的注定了是可以被存放在酒窖里陈年的好酒。辛辣的黑胡椒及肉桂香味的酒体更加醇厚,还夹杂着丰富的黑色和红色水果味,如黑加仑,桑椹,和树莓在一起,还有一丝烟叶和咖啡的味道。它还有一个非常有趣的薄荷味,如同一块没有巧克力的安第斯牌(Andes)薄荷巧克力。橡木中的香草味道在中期的口感得以显现。单宁相当柔美,以及很长的余味。这是一个出乎意料的好葡萄酒,同时又铭刻着那段令人伤痛的往事,这款酒的部分收益将返还给仍然在恢复中的地震灾区。只是有酒相伴味道足以鲜美。极力推荐。 标签:2006, Baptiste Cuvelier,赤霞珠,佳利酿,美娜,考克内斯,智利,Chile Maule,Cinsaut,地震,梅鹿辄,派斯,混合型红酒,红葡萄酒,酒评,酒

    起初,你注意到樱桃覆盆子的香味,伴随着浓郁的甜水果香,甚至有焦糖的味道。单宁不是很明显,如果只是单纯喝酒的话,你会体会到相当悠长的难以忘怀的回味。但如果有佐餐相伴,它变得更加平衡,而且甜味不那么明显,杯中的酒下肚似乎只是时间的问题。试着与一些味道不太重的食物搭配,例如番茄酱通心粉一类的。推荐级别。 标签:2006,赤霞珠,加利福尼亚州,路易米马提尼,梅鹿辄,纳帕谷,小味儿多,红葡萄酒,西拉,酒评,葡萄酒
