微風在陽光下把雲變得如羽似絮。

此外,今天的能見度也相當的好,可以看到 half moon bay 的對岸。下面的照片中可以看到左邊遠方有山的 skyline!

half moon bay 的對岸有多遠呢?Santa Cruz 直線到對岸的 Monterey 大概50公里吧。大概是從台北到桃園了。

Local Wine Tasting — XIV

May 16th, 2009 Phanix

@vinocruz. Because three of five were tasted before, I skipped them and only tasted two.

事實上這天還喝了 Silver Mountain 2005 Tondres Grapefield Pinot Noir,不過才剛聞到味道的時候就覺得應該有喝過,回來查一下確實一週前喝過了。不過今天才知道這款酒跟 Sonnet Tondres Grapefield Pinot Noir 不僅是來自同一區域的葡萄,還是出自同一個 wine maker 之手,只是用的桶子跟採收時間不同。

 

Fernwood Cellars 2007 Estate Chardonnay

很一般的加州 Chardonnay,香氣有木桶、柑橘、桃子,結尾的酸味不錯,但整體來說味道有點低鬱,不是給人很清爽明亮的感覺,那天去的時候又剛好吃得飽飽的,期待來一點清爽一點的 Chardonnay,所以不太喜歡這一款酒。

Ahlgren 2005 Bates’ Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon

很棒的 Cabernet Sauvignon,可以再放個一兩年讓丹寧更好。沒有之前喝 05 年份加州 Cabernet Sauvignon 的明顯花香,但除了不是很濃烈的黑醋栗之外,另外有黑莓、白胡椒、青椒、肉桂味道。

三款 Chardonnay

May 16th, 2009 Phanix

Marraso 2007 Chardonnay, Columbia Crest 2006 Grand Estates Chardonnay, Louis Jadot 2007 Macon – Villages Chardonnay.

While I was walking on the kurb and looking for Verve Coffee in the afternoon a few days ago, I noticed this Japanese sushi bar and decided to have dinner there.
