Tasting note

品飲心得：香氣像剛出爐的蘋果塔與水煮梨，帶有溫暖的烘焙奶油與酥皮氣息。口感豐滿，細緻的酒泥與柔滑奶油感包裹果實，檸檬般的清爽酸度把整體拉得很俐落，礦感和輕微烘烤香增添層次。 生產者說明：此酒由好鄰居（Booker Wines）出品，取自帕索羅布萊斯日夜溫差明顯的園區，果實成熟但保持清新，風格友好又有特色，適合立刻享用。 釀造手法：以桶熟和酒泥陳年帶出奶油與厚度，使用克制的新橡木與適度攪泥，讓酒體圓潤而不膩，香料與烘烤味自然融入。 葡萄園環境：葡萄來自排水良好、光照充足的坡地，土壤讓果實集中且帶點礦質風味。酒體適合搭配磨菇、奶香義大利麵或東南亞帶花生醬的料理，醒半小時風味更開。

Tasting note: Ripe orchard fruit meets baked-pastry notes on the nose—think baked apple, poached pear and subtle pastry crust. The palate is medium–full and creamy, with fine lees texture and a gentle buttery thread balanced by lemony acidity and a mineral backbone. Oak influence appears as toasted spice rather than overt sweetness, giving structure without heaviness. Producer notes: From My Favorite Neighbor (Booker Wines), this bottling reflects Paso Robles’ warm days and cooling coastal influence: concentrated fruit with lively freshness. The wine is crafted for approachability while retaining texture and complexity. Winemaking notes: Barrel fermentation and lees aging contribute creaminess and depth; careful use of oak delivers toast and spice while preserving bright acidity. Gentle sur lie stirring and restrained new oak keep the wine poised and food-friendly. Vineyard notes: Grapes come from well-exposed Paso Robles sites where diurnal temperature shifts help preserve acidity. Soils are well drained and the vines produce concentrated fruit with ripe aromatics and mineral lift. Ready to drink now, the wine should hold nicely for a few years.
