It’s a G thang. Not a well-liked vintage, so adjust flavors with your mind. Rim to rim black concentration. Black cherry and blackberry, dried black currant, espresso, licorice; dark chocolate, black pepper and violet aromas. Black cherry stays true to olfactory perceptions, add bing, dried cranberries, red currant reduction, basil, cracked pepper, and dried cherry. This number broke my berry abacus, and I could not imagine it in a better vintage. I think I appreciate what the tough vintage made Mr Ahnfeldt adjust to. This is leaner, and the cherry lends it a super T touch. I like the cherry. .

Accendo Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 2017

This is the wine the Araujo Family has been making since 2013. Refreshing. Floral with a nice balance of acidity and tropical fruits. This is a perfect wine for summer.

アクセンド セラーズのソーヴィニョンブラン 2017年をトライ。 アラウホ ファミリーが2013年からナパで手掛けるワイナリー。花の香りとともに酸とトロピカルフルーツが絶妙なバランスで、夏に飲みたくなるワイン。

Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Underrated. An aromatic, smooth beauty. Aged really well. This is showing its best now. Love it.

リリースされた当時はあまり評価されなかったワインですが、17年の時を経て、ふくよかで芳醇なワインになっていました。熟成されまさに飲み頃です。素晴らしい。

Fresher modern style #napa #carneros #chardonnay with white orchard fruit, touch of toasty brioche. Solid value. — a year ago

Value oriented #napa #cabernetsauvignon blend which you can tell was blended with care to maintain balance. Surprisingly it wasn't too out-of-place with traditional Sauvignon Blanc fare like lobster rolls and mussels.

This #napa #cabernetsauvignon comes into its own after a long decanting - even a day in the wine cooler after uncorking. Luxurious blackberry jammy nose but nice balance of acidity, restrained vanilla and toasted oak, zesty spice and soft tannins that fade away. The initial tartness after uncorking goes away with that decant time. — a year ago

#napa #merlot might be the best chance of good value these days out of the region. I liked the strong fruit balanced by forest floor and peppery layers. — 8 months ago

2011 Spottswoode Family Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (The 30th Anniversary Bottling)

I could not wait any longer and decided to open this. Trust the producer. 2011 was a difficult year, but the very top winemakers make great wines under the most difficult condition. Cassis, dark chocolate, plum, mint, herbs, pencil and minerals. Lighter than expected. Medium-bodied. Delicious. Would love to compare it with their 2010 vintage which RP gave 100 points.

開けるには早いかなと思いつつも待ち切れず、スポッツウッドの2011年をトライ。2011年は非常に難しい年でしたが、トップクラスのワインメーカーが手掛けるワインはさすが。カシス、ダークチョコレート、プラム、ミント、ハーブ、鉛筆の芯やミネラルなど。思っていたより軽めでミディアムボディーな仕上がり。美味しくいただきました。近い将来、ロバートパーカー氏が100点をつけた2010年と飲み比べてみたいものです。

1993 Dalla Valle Cabernet

After 26 years, black currant fruits are still prevalent. Cassis, herb, Leather and tobacco. Garnet color with sweet tannins. "Goodbye Heisei, Welcome Reiwa."


平成最後のワインは、1993年Dalla Vella Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon とともに。カシス、ハーブ、レザー、タバコ。26年の時を経て、まだまだフルーツ感が残った飲みごたえのあるワイン。ガーネット色、タンニンは甘い。「さようなら平成、いらっしゃい令和。」
