Hartford Court 2015 Sevens Bench Vineyard Pinot Noir(卡纳斯谷),售价70美元,评分93分。这款朴实无华却又深邃复杂的佳酿,在水果香气中展现出一种低调,却带来蘑菇、白垩、煤烟和堆肥等独特味道。单宁浓郁,与森林风情相结合,还有成熟红色水果及亚洲香料,为口感增添了层次感。
Halcyon 2016 品丽珠(加利福尼亚),售价30美元,评分92分。一款体现卢瓦尔风格的小众珍品,它以樱桃、黑蔓越莓、小胡椒粒、湿石以及一丝杜松为开端,并带来新鲜而入口即化的情趣,一边享受辛辣香料装饰深酸甜的红色水果,一边留下芳醇余味。
Rock Wall 2016 Hendry Vineyard Block 29 Zinfandel(纳帕谷),售价45美元,评分91分。这是一款结构坚固又细腻的佳酿,从南部产区获得最好的条件。在蓝莓、大麦芽和雪松等元素中加入肉豆蔻辛辣,使其成为完美搭档,同时延伸至悠长余音。
Martin Ranch 2015 Therese Vineyards Reserve Zinfandel(圣克拉拉谷),售价32美元,评分90分。从这瓶储备版鼻子释放出的浓重烟雾、黑莓酱薰衣草迷迭香山艾树混合,再次回到老加州特色时光,让人回想起传统经典之作。
Gramercy 2015 The Third Man Grenache(哥伦比亚谷),售价36美元,评级92。此乃四份三份歌海娜由西拉15%慕合怀特5%佳丽平衡组成,而颜色略显微微呈浅粉色,是干爽新鲜花草覆盆子李子干橙皮熏肉矿物质混合,而后则是纯净感及保留风格完结闭幕,以延长多汁完成为标志。
Avennia 2015 Justine Red(哥伦比亚谷),售价38美元,评级92由55%歌海娜32%慕合怀特13%西拉各自来自高地山心奥尔德菲尔德组成,其中颜色浅淡开始带有覆盆子、高调植物矿物质石榴樱桃诸多元素展开并反映其源于温暖年份。而口感丰富含多种不同类别水果与浓郁咖啡巧克力配搭,为整体增添可爱纯洁感,最终在充满水果余韵中结束秀发点缀上最后几抹纯洁微笑面纱光泽散去如同画卷收尾一般结束篇章尽头落笔所致意也便此事了结矣。
Mark Ryan Long Haul Red(哥伦比亚), $55, Score:91. This wine is primarily Merlot (84%) with the remainder Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Malbec. Fruity aromas from Quintessence, Red Willow, Ciel du Cheval, Klipsun and Olsen vineyards abound with notes of toasted bread, cherry pie filling, earthiness and a hint of coffee bean that unfold into many layers. Cherry and coffee flavors are elegant yet well-balanced throughout with a long finish.
Underground Wine Project Idle Hands Red(Red Mountain), $30, Score:90. A joint project between winemakers Trey Busch and Mark McNeilly this wine is almost all Syrah. Rich in fruit flavors it covers the palate bringing pure enjoyment along with a sense of restraint beyond what this warm region's vintage might suggest.
Underground Wine Project Devil's Right Hand Grenache(Red Mountain), $30, Score:88. Offering aromas of chocolate-covered cherries plum strawberries blueberries wood spices as well as hints of fresh lychee & herbal notes fine tannins complete the picture.
These carefully selected wines from California's West Coast will surely elevate your next barbecue gathering to new heights!
