    2009 Edmunds St. John Wylie Syrah

    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
