随着时间的流逝,天气日渐温暖,这不禁让人期待一场愉快的烧烤盛宴。尽管桃红葡萄酒和脆白葡萄酒在炎热夏季也占据了一席之地,但没有什么能像那些大胆而豪迈的西海岸红葡萄酒那样完美搭配烤牛排或汉堡。因此,无论是你举办一次大型户外派对还是仅仅是一次快速的烧烤晚餐,我们为你精选了10款红葡萄酒。
加利福尼亚州 Joseph Phelps 2015 Freestone Vineyards Estate Grown Pinot Noir(索诺玛海岸)$60, 分数95。这是一款出色的品种,多汁的果香、辛辣的地中海香料以及柑橘味与泥土气息相融合,结构坚固,酸度提供持久且优雅的余韵。
Hartford Court 2015 Sevens Bench Vineyard Pinot Noir(卡纳罗斯)$70, 分数93。这款朴实无华却又深邃复杂,其水果香气并不显眼,但却带来了蘑菇、石灰岩、煤烟和堆肥等独特风味。单宁浓郁,以森林风情和成熟红色水果为背景,是一款值得收藏的佳酿。
Halcyon 2016 品丽珠(加利福尼亚)$30, 分数92。一款以卢瓦尔风格著称,它以樱桃、黑莓、碎胡椒粒、湿石和杜松为开端,并展现出新鲜而细腻口感,以及辛辣调料点缀在深酸甜红色水果中的余韵。
Rock Wall 2016 Hendry Vineyard Block 29 Zinfandel(纳帕谷)$45, 分数91。这是一瓶来自南部产区的一个卓越地点所酿造出的坚实结构佳酿,其中蓝莓、新鲜樱桃及雪松共存,并伴随着肉豆蔻咸辣风味,一直延续到尾声。
Martin Ranch 2015 Therese Vineyards Reserve Zinfandel(圣克拉拉谷)$32, 分数90。在这瓶储备装瓶之前,就已充满了浓重烟雾、高级黑莓酱、中药材薰衣草迷迭香山艾树等香气,从口感上展现出干涸泥土野生赤褪花朵,让人回想起老旧加州风格。
Gramercy Cellars 2015 The Third Man Grenache(哥伦比亚谷)$36, 分数92。这是一个三分之三歌海娜由西拉(15%)慕合怀特(5%)佳丽酿平衡组成的一支队伍颜色略带微红光泽,最显著的是新鲜草本植物覆盆子李子干橙皮熏肉矿物质混合体验纯净感。此外,还有丰富多彩且保留原有的感觉呈现完美结局——完全是关于绚烂夺目的赤褪花朵——以此结束一切使其简洁明了并更接近自然界。—肖恩·P·沙利文
Avennia Justine Red Blend (哥伦比亚谷) $38 / bottle. This blend of Grenache (55%), Mourvèdre (32%), and Syrah (13%) from high elevation sites in the Yakima Valley and Oldfield Series soils displays a light color with aromas of boysenberry, dried grasses and minerals. It is a warm vintage reflection of its origins with flavors that are rich in red and blue fruit notes. Finishes with a lovely purity.
Mark Ryan Winery Long Haul Red Blend ($55/ bottle). A blend of Merlot (84%), Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec & Petit Verdot sourced from Quintessence Red Willow Ciel du Cheval Klipsun & Olsen vineyards offers aromas of baked bread cherry coffee chocolate spice & anise. Flavors are elegant yet harmonious as it finishes long.
Underground Wine Project Idle Hands Red Blend ($30/ bottle). A collaboration between winemakers Trey Busch & Mark McNeilly this wine is almost entirely Syrah offering aromas of blood orange grapefruit bacon spices cinnamon plum all in one place on the palate leaving you feeling pure clean simple but more restrained than this warm region year would suggest best to enjoy by end-2021.
Underwood Wines Devil's Punchbowl Grenache ($30/ bottle). With flavors like cocoa cherry raspberry blackberry wood spices including fresh green apple clove nutmeg ginger rosemary thyme mint bay leaf lemon zest these wines offer complexity without being overbearing while still remaining easy-drinking but difficult to identify specific varieties or names —SPS
