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
