  • The Judge & Stag's Leap Is Back Again…
    Oberndorfer Str. 2 · D-78628 Rottweil The Judge & Tel. 0741 / 1 72 06 · Fax 0741 / 1 72 07 [email protected] Stag’s Leap is back again… www.bacchus-vinothek.com Aktualisiert am 04.06.2016 …und hat es schon wieder getan. Anlässlich des 40. Jahrestages der legendären Verkostung (siehe unten) in Paris, als Stag’s Leap SLV die großen Namen aus Frankreich auf die Plätze verwies, legten britische Weinkritiker um den Master of Wine Richard Bampfield das Thema nochmals neu auf. Es wurde wieder blind verkostet: Bordeaux: 2001 Haut-Brion, 2001 Montrose, 2001 Mouton-Rothschild, 2001 Léoville-Las-Cases Kalifornien: 2005 Ridge Vineyards, Monte Bello, 2005 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars - SLV, 2001 Clos du Val, 2005 Heitz Wine Cellars - Martha's Vineyard, 2002 Mount Veeder - Mayacamas Vineyards, 2001 Freemark Abbey. Das Ergebnis? Platz 1 bei den Rotweinen : 2005 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars – SLV Vor Haut Brion, Mouton oder Las Cases (siehe unten). Natürlich sollten Sie die Möglichkeit haben, einen solchen Kalifornier, der sich in einer Blindprobe vor die 1er Cru Classé schiebt, auch zu erwerben. Es gibt weltweit nur noch vereinzelt Flaschen. Aber Dank meinem Besuch 2011 auf dem Weingut und dem ausgezeichneten Kontakt seit jener Zeit, konnte ich mir die letzten 180 Flaschen des Weinguts sichern, die das Weingut bereit war, an mich abzugeben. Nur noch einige Kisten für spätere Proben wurden zurückbehalten. Mittlerweile hat Stag’s Leap Anfragen aus aller Welt wegen dem 2005er. Aber keinen Wein mehr. Den hat sich der Grimm mal wieder für seine Kunden gesichert. Import läuft. Allerdings hat Stag’s Leap einen Mindestpreis im Internet verlangt.

  • 2017 Mayacamas Chardonnay Tasting Notes
    201 CHARDONNAY – MT. VEEDER, NAPA VALLEY High on the slopes of Mount Veeder, Mayacamas Vineyards has been a source APPELLATION: Mt. Veeder of legendary California wine since 1889. Since the 1950’s the vinification VARIETAL: 100% Chardonnay and élevage of Mayacamas remains remarkably consistent and our ALCOHOL: 14% continued commitment to employ classical techniques and tools is integral 9 pts. Antonio Galloni to the character of these wines. The mountain terroir at Mayacamas ranges from 1,800 to 2,400 feet in elevation and the estate spans 475 acres, only 50 of which are dedicated to vine. TASTING NOTES & WINEMAKING The 2017 vintage of Mayacamas Chardonnay — our team's fifth — showcases both site and vintage beautifully. Aromas of ripe lemon honeysuckle and crushed oyster shell highlight the nose. On the palate, the wine has the classic Mayacamas acidity and is framed nicely by the textural richness in the mid-palate that comes from a warm vintage. Harvested early to retain natural acidity, the grapes were sorted by hand and pressed whole cluster. Alcoholic fermentation was completed in a combination of small barrels (5% new), large format puncheon and stainless steel. Malolactic fermentation was blocked. The wine was aged on the lees for seven months, then twelve months of aging in barrel and an additional six months of aging was done in stainless steel prior to a winter bottling. - VINTAGE, VINEYARDS & TERROIR The 2017 growing season began with significant rainfall in the start of the year followed by mild spring temperatures during bud break and flowering, and ending with intense heat waves.

  • 2009 Chardonnay – Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley Tasting Notes & Winemaking Vineyards & Terroir
    2009 CHARDONNAY – MT. VEEDER, NAPA VALLEY High on the slopes of Mount Veeder, Mayacamas Vineyards has been a source of APPELLATION: Mt. Veeder legendary California wine since 1889. Since the 1950’s the vinification and élevage of VARIETAL: 100% Chardonnay Mayacamas remains remarkably consistent and our continued commitment to ALCOHOL: 141/2% employ classical techniques and tools is integral to the character of these wines. The mountain terroir at Mayacamas ranges from 1,800 to 2,400 feet in elevation and the estate spans 475 acres, only 50 of which are dedicated to vine. The region’s richly intense, age-worthy wines reflect the independent spirit of its mountain growers and vintners, borne of rugged conditions that demand craftsmanship at the highest level. TASTING NOTES & WINEMAKING At 11 years old the 2009 Chardonnay is open, accessible, and delicious. Its bright golden appearance suggests age, concentration, and power. The wine opens with an aromatic combination of lemon curd, bee pollen, and sunflower oil. Dried thyme and parsley offer a savory thread that weaves nuance and complexity. On the palate the wine expands, broadening the frame and accentuating flavors of lemon oil, almond, and yellow pear. The finish is long with lingering notes of dried pineapple, savory herbs, and crushed flint rock. Artfully crafted by Bob Travers, the 2009 drinking window is open and inviting. During winemaking, malolactic fermentation was inhibited to enhance freshness and the wine aged for 12 months in barrique, less than 10% of which was new. VINEYARDS & TERROIR Grapes for the 2009 were sourced entirely from dry-farmed vineyard sites on our Estate high on Mt.

As we turn our thoughts to the holidays and start to focus on celebrating with family, friends, and community I wanted to extend a warm thank you to all. We have been very fortunate in wine country over the last couple years, capping it off with another strong harvest expecting a total of 4 million tons of grapes in California. Another reason to be grateful is that prices for vineyards and real estate have improved dramatically over the last 4 years and vineyard prices have come back in line with where they were before the recession. Even after such a strong move, prices appear to be stable. Taking a quick look at the numbers you can see that over the last year there have been more than $335,000,000 in sales of vineyards, vineyard 2013 High Profile Wine Country Transactions estates and plantable land in Napa and Sonoma • Araujo Estate Winery • Silverado Hill Winery Counties.
