Tasting note
這支酒帶著清新又有輪廓的個性:前段是鳳梨與保存檸檬的明亮香氣,接著有一抹火柴頭的迷人氣息。入口中段體態屬中等,酸度活潑,梨子與葡柚的果味緊湊而有彈性,帶來整體的節奏感。酒體下方有細緻的乳化感與輕微橡木香,讓口感更圓潤但不厚重;餘韻乾淨延展,適合作為蘑菇、奶製餡料或風味較重的燉菜配搭。釀造方面偏向溫和處理與桶陳與瓶陳相結合,強調產地風土與平衡感,來自威拉米特涼爽坡地,採低產量管理與人工採收,追求果實純淨與礦物感。
Bright, focused and Burgundian in spirit, this Willamette Valley selection opens with lifted aromas of fresh pineapple, preserved lemon and a faint struck-match note. The palate is medium-bodied and tightly bound, offering nashi pear, grapefruit and green apple framed by energetic, finely tuned acidity. Gentle contact with oak and time on lees add a creamy undercurrent and subtle spice without overwhelming the wine’s mineral clarity. Drink now with a short rest or cellar through the mid 2030s.
