  • Structure in Wine Steiia Thiast
    Structure in Wine steiia thiAst What is Structure? • So what is this thing, structure? It*s the sense you have that the wine has a well-established form,I think ofit as the architecture ofthe wine. A wine with a great structure will often remind me ofthe outlines of a cathedral, or the veins in a leaf...it supports, and balances the fiuit characteristics ofthe wine. The French often describe structure as the skeleton ofthe wine, as opposed to its flavor which they describe as the flesh. • Where does structure come firom? In white wines, it usually comes from alcohol or acidity; in red wines, it comes from a combination of acidity and tannin, a component in the grapes' skins and seeds. Thus, wines with a lot of tannin (like cabernet) also have a lot of structure. Beaujolais is made from gamay which does not have much tannin. As a result, Beaujolais can lack structure; it feels soft, flat or simple in the mouth (though its flavors can certainly still be attractive). • While structure is hard to articulate, you can easily taste or sense it —^and the lack of it. • Understanding structure is critical to understanding any ofthe ''powerful" red varieties: cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, nebbiolo, tempranillo, and malbec, to name a few. I just don't think you can understand these wines unless you understand structure, and how it frames and focuses the powerful rush of fruit. It adds freshness, and a "lightness" to the density ofripe fiuit. Structure matters when pairing wine and food. Foods with a lot of structure themselves— like a meaty, thick steak-need wines with commensurate structure (like cabernet), or the food experience can dwarfthe wine experience.

  • 2015 Readers Merlot
    1RDRS5 20 READERS MERLOT 15 COLUMBIA VALLEY A.V.A. n outstanding Merlot from Washington’s revered old vineyards Conner Lee and Dionysus. Our Readers blend tips its hat to all exploratory readers of books and wine. Blending Conner Lee Vineyard’s 1992 old block Merlot and Dionysus Vineyards’ block A15 Merlot combines two super character vineyards. Elephant Mountain Vineyard’s Cabernet bring spice and complexity to the blend. This powerful wine offers fragrant cherries and chocolate with rich marrionberry flavors in this delicious easy drinking style. VINTAGE Vintage 2015 is Washington’s leading hot vintage and earliest ripening harvest. Our vineyards yielded fruit with record color and tannin. This is in alignment with our house style of rich and smooth age-worthy reds. Spring broke buds in March and flowered in May, setting the stage for the early harvest. Late spring developed small grapes on small clusters in all our vineyards. Summer temperatures were hotter than average and lead to an early July verasion. Together early and swift verasion are hallmarks of great vintages. Our fruit we shaded with healthy canopies balancing acidity and sugar ripeness while protecting against sunburn. We harvested summer fruits in excellent condition. WINEMAKING Dionysus we harvested August 26 into small fermenters. Conner Lee Vineyard we picked at the peak of ripeness swiftly by Pellenc Selective harvester September 10 delivering perfectly sorted fruit right on time. We hand mixed for two weeks, then finished fermentation in barrels and puncheons. We aged on lees reductively, developing savory tones complimentary to the powerful fruit. After 20 months, we selected the final blend.

  • Loire Valley
    PREVIEWCOPY Introduction Previewing this guidebook? If you are previewing this guidebook in advance of purchase, please check out our enhanced preview, which will give you a deeper look at this guidebook. Wine guides for the ultra curious, Approach Guides take an in-depth look at a wine region’s grapes, appellations and vintages to help you discover wines that meet your preferences. The Loire Valley — featuring a compelling line-up of distinctive grape varieties, high quality winemaking and large production volumes — is home to some of France’s most impressive wines. Nevertheless, it remains largely overlooked by the international wine drinking public. This makes the region a treasure trove of exceptional values, just waiting to be discovered. What’s in this guidebook • Grape varieties. We describe the Loire’s primary red and white grape varieties and where they reach their highest expressions. • Vintage ratings. We offer a straightforward vintage ratings table, which affords high-level insight into the best and most challenging years for wine production. • A Loire Valley wine label. We explain what to look for on a Loire Valley wine label and what it tells you about what’s in the bottle. • Map and appellation profiles. Leveraging our map of the region, we provide detailed pro- files of appellations from all five of the Loire’s sub-regions (running from west to east): Pays Nantais, Anjou, Saumur, Touraine and Central Vineyards. For each appellation, we describe the prevailing terroir, the types of wine produced and what makes them distinctive. • A distinctive approach. This guidebook’s approach is unique: rather than tell you what specific bottle of wine to order by providing individual bottle reviews, it gives the information you need to make informed wine choices on any list.

  • 2010 58% Merlot & 42% Cabernet Franc Columbia Valley
    2010 58% Merlot & 42% Cabernet Franc Columbia Valley This vintage was sourced from the acclaimed Conner Lee Vineyard with 5% from Champoux Vineyard. Caleb has worked with Conner Lee’s phenomenal merlot and cabernet franc since its first harvest in 1994. Conner Lee is a cool site in a warm, sunny region of Washington state. In the eastern Washington desert, the hot summer ripens the fruit, while the diurnal temperatures keep the acids high and the pH low. Buty has bottled its own blend of merlot & cabernet franc since 2000, our inaugural vintage. Like the yields of Bordeaux First Growth harvests, in a normal year at Conner Lee we grow 30 HL per hectare, equal to two tons per acre or 3.5 pounds per plant. But 2010 was the coolest vintage in thirty years, so we further cut yields in the summer to 20 HL per hectare to ensure fully ripe character for our wine. We harvested our merlot by hand on October 7. Cabernet franc we harvested on October 22 at potential alcohols of 14.3%. We hand-sorted and destemmed with gravity transfer to tank, which allowed us to preserve the fruit's abundant aromatics. We aerated during fermentation in wood tanks for two weeks and selected only free-run wine to blend. Aged 14 months in Taransaud and Bel Air French Château barrels, half of which were new, the wines rested unracked until bottling in December 2011. This is one of Washington's fabulous wines that though very pretty in its youth, will also be very long lived.

    2015 CHATEAU DE LA RIVIERE FAKTA Fronsac AOC, Bordeaux Rødvin Drue(r): 2% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, Distriktet Bordeaux-distriktet Fronsac ligger i nærheden af byen Libourne nord for Dordognefloden, og har været kendt for sine 8% Cabernet Franc, 84% Merlot vine længe før, områder som fx Graves eller Médoc begyndte at plante vinstokke. Fronsac kan desuden prale med at Alkohol: 14.5% høre under en af de ældste vinlovgivninger i Bordeaux. Områdets komplekse jordbundsforhold med rige aflejringer Skruelåg: Nej nogle steder og ler- og kalkholdige eller småstens- og siliciumholdige lag i dybden andre steder, forklarer de store Varenummer: 01410511535 kvalitetsforskelle i området. De bedste vinmarker siges at ligge i den nordlige del, nær Canon-Fronsac (egen AOC), hvor sand og kalk dominerer. Navnet Canon kommer i øvrigt af, at de høje skrænter ved Fronsac blev brugt af flådens skibe, som lå for anker i Dordognefloden, til at afprøve deres kanoner. AOC'erne Fronsac og Canon-Fronsac tillader kun rødvinsproduktion, hovedsageligt på druen Merlot, tilsat Cabernet Franc (i området kaldt Bouchet), Malbec og Cabernet Sauvignon. Vinene er generelt kraftige og krydrede, ofte med god sprødhed og struktur, og de bedste af dem desuden med velour og finesse. De vinder som regel i harmoni og kompleksitet ved at blive modnet (5-10 år). Vinene fra Fronsac nævnes ofte som gode (og ofte billigere) alternativer til St. Emilion- eller Pomerol-vine. Producenten Château de la Rivière er uden tvivl et af de meste berømte vinslotte i Fronsac-området. Dets beliggenhed på La Rivière-sletten (ca. 60 m. over Dordognefloden), omgivet af 65 ha.

    Retail Savings $24.99 $50.00 50% 2011 Château de Sales Pomerolproduct-timed-pdf - Heritiers Lambert, Pomerol AOC, Bordeaux - Petrus' Iconic Terroir | 'Very Good' -Vinous Why We're Drinking It Five hundred years—that’s how long Château de Sales has been around and for five hundred years, this venerable estate, which also happens to be the largest in Pomerol, was owned by members of one—insanely fortunate--French family. “Very stylish wine,” writes Vinous, “finishing with firm but ripe tannins and subtle length. Classic claret I love this wine’s grace and balance, but those looking for size and creamy flavors won’t be as impressed as I was. Another very good buy from Pomerol in 2011.” “Offers soft, pure, unadorned plum and raspberry fruit, with a lightly chalky minerality,” says the Wine Spectator. Large by Pomerol standards, de Sales is really a big fish in a seriously diminutive pond as Pomerol covers just 12 square kilometers making it one-seventh the size of St. Emilion. The AOC more than makes up for this by the quality of wine. In 2011 a wealth of gorgeous Pomerols were produced. None provide more body and beauty for the buck than the 2011 de Sales. Four reasons we love it: ● The New York Times writes: “It is a vintage for careful note-taking, with some very good wines…” The Wine Spectator noted the quality of fruit from the Right Bank and gave 2011 an “Outstanding” rating for this part of Bordeaux only. ● De Sales enjoys a unique terroir somewhat distinct from neighboring estates in Pomerol.

  • Bordeaux 2015 Arrivage 2015: Schon Heute Ein Legendärer Bordeaux-Jahrgang
    Weinpassion für Bordeaux 2015 Arrivage 2015: Schon heute ein legendärer Bordeaux-Jahrgang. Berührendes Weinerlebnis zu einem unglaublichen Preis. 2015 Le Sacre St-Georges St-Emilion 18+/20 Gerstl Weinselektionen • Tel. 058 234 22 88 • www.gerstl.ch Bordeaux 2015: Grandiose Weine dank perfektem Wetter und herausragender Kellerarbeit. Liebe Bordeaux-Freundinnen und -Freunde Liebe Kundinnen und Kunden Wo soll man den Jahrgang 2015 einordnen? Qualitativ ohne Zweifel bei den ganz grossen Jahrgängen. Ist er noch besser als 2005, 2009 oder 2010? Ich würde sagen nicht besser, aber ganz anders auf ähnlich hohem Niveau. 2005 und 2010 zeigten Kraft, Konzentration, Mineralität und Eleganz. 2009 glänzte mit perfekter Reife, gezügelter Opulenz, enormer Fülle und toller Eleganz. 2015 hat von allen erwähnten Komponenten etwas, aber eher in gemässigter Form, das Überragende an 2015 sind die Feinheit, die Raffinesse, die unglaublich leckere Art der Weine. Die Witterungs-Verhältnisse waren absolut ideal. Der Süden des Médoc und die Regionen Pessac-Léognan, St. Emilion mit der ganzen Umgebung von Castillon über Fronsac bis Bourg und Blaye und auch Pomerol inkl. Lalande de Pomerol profitierten von absolut perfektem Erntewetter. Nur im Norden des Médoc gab es einige Regenfälle. Das wurde aber von den Top- Betrieben sehr gut gemeistert, auch hier sind einige überragende Weine ent- standen. «Dieses Jahr hat uns der Regen sogar die Qualität der Ernte geret- tet», meinte Véronique Sanders, Direktorin von Château Haut-Bailly, «immer genau dann, wenn Trockenstress drohte, gab es den nötigen Regen.» Besuchen Sie unbedingt unsere grosse Arrivage-Degustation mit den Winzern in Zürich (23.4.18, Volkshaus) und an weite- ren Orten in der Schweiz – siehe www.gerstl.ch/events Herzliche Grüsse und viel Genussvergnügen mit Bordeaux 2015!
