Duckhorn Three Palms Vineyard, 2010

Special thanks to Chunpi!

Price: $90-$100
AOC: Napa Valley, United States
Varietal: 82% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot

Color: half violet and half orange at rim
Aroma: Penetrating, powerful, sweet and perfumed
Palate: medium body and tannin, slightly matured, tobacco, silky, sweet and concentrated fruit, a little perception of alcohol, very little spicy. Oaking added structure to the wine. A round, powerful yet enjoyable, sophisticated wine. Consider the price, I personally prefer regular Merlot label.

Heitz Cellar, Trailside Vineyard, 2005

感謝 Chunpi 從 Heitz Cellar 直接酒莊直送這支酒!



Aroma: 強力, 紅黑果實各半
Palate: 喝得出濃縮的果實味, 殘留的糖稍微多了一點, 稍微偏甜, 特色在於微辣, 和些微的苦味, 通常這兩個味道和口感都是負面的, 但這支卻以不討厭的方式表現,  其他算是很有代表性的Napa Cab, 沒有新世界我比較不喜歡的那種味道和round的口感, 感覺 Heitz Cellar 的 cab 依然是很有力道的走向, 單寧覺得已經融合了, 剩餘些微的澀感, 十年果然是紅酒的黃金期嗎?
