Wine Tasting @ Evergreen Laurel Collection (2009/08)
After back to Taiwan, fewer wine tasting occassions I can join, that is not a good news for keeping my nose and cultivating this interest. However, Evergreen Laurel Collection co. provides wine tasting activities monthly, and this is my 2nd time. The first time is in the last month, but my tasting notes must lost in […]

@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。
