    TASTING HIGHLIGHTS 9 West Coast Red Blends for Sweater Weather Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and more newly reviewed wines from California and Washington Some of Limerick Lane's vines date to the !rst plantings in 1910. (Richard Knapp) By Augustus Weed Oct 7, 2019 Tasting Highlights' wine reviews are fresh out of the tasting room, o!ering a sneak peek of our editors' most recent scores and notes to WineSpectator.com members. Red blends are red hot these days, with winemakers across the West Coast making both oddball and traditional-style blends from a variety of di"erent grapes, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and everything in between. Today's selection casts a wide net with highly rated wines from California and Washington. Topping the list is a gutsy blend from Limerick Lane [https://www.winespectator.com/wine/search/submitted/Y/search_by/exact/text_search_#ag/winery/winery/Limerick+Lane] . Winemaker Chris Pittenger combined mostly Syrah with Zinfandel and Petite Sirah from the winery's 30-acre estate vineyard in the northeast corner of the Russian River Valley appellation. Alexana [https://www.winespectator.com/wine/search/submitted/Y/search_by/exact/text_search_#ag/winery/winery/Alexana] winemaker Bryan Weil looked farther north to the Columbia Valley in Washington for the supple Gran Rouge. It's a Southern Rhône–inspired blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre that shows how well these grapes complement each other. Eric Kent [https://www.winespectator.com/wine/search/submitted/Y/search_by/exact/text_search_#ag/winery/winery/Eric+Kent] made one of the best values here, using grapes from Mendocino County.

  • 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.

  • 2018 K the Creator Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah
    2018 K THE CREATOR CABERNET SAUVIGNON/SYRAH TASTING NOTES BY WINEMAKER CHARLES SMITH Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme in this dried plum, pencil lead, smoked meat, dark chocolate co-fermented knock out. Integrated multilayered and individual as can be. You almost have to take a step back with a “What the ??” I’ll tell you what it is. It’s the Creator. VINTAGE NOTES The 2018 vintage was incredible! This outstanding vintage began mild followed by a long and dry ripening season in the fall. This enabled us to hang the fruit to reach optimal ripeness without losing acidity or increasing sugars. The wines from 2018 are exceptional in many ways, from the great expression of the whites to the beautiful refinement and complexity of the reds. Enjoy! CURRENT & PAST SCORES 96 Points, Jeb Dunnuck “Red and black currants, blueberries, green tobacco, cedarwood, and new saddle leather notes emerge from the 2018 Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon / The Creator Powerline Vineyard, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Syrah. Almost opaque and ruby/purple-hued, it’s medium to full-bodied and has a layered, elegant texture, sweet tannins, and a great finish. A wine that builds nicely with time in the glass, picking up more density and length, it has the fruit and balance to offer pleasure today yet the concentration and structure to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for 15-20 years, if you’re so inclined.” 93 Points, James Suckling “Currant, spice and some sweet-tobacco aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied, yet very polished and energetic.

  • THE SCIENCE BEHIND the NAPA VALLEY APPELLATION an Examination of the Geology, Soils, and Climate That Define Napa Valley As a Premier Grape Growing Region
    THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE NAPA VALLEY APPELLATION An examination of the geology, soils, and climate that define Napa Valley as a premier grape growing region. By Gerald D. Boyd Napa Valley is a name that conjures up many images, thoughtful reflections and names of legends and leaders that are emblematic of the contemporary meaning of the valley as a major wine region. In 1966, with the opening of his eponymous winery in Oakville, Robert Mondavi, Napa’s elder statesman, recognized the unique qualities of Napa Valley soils and the wines they produced. “We knew then that we had the climate, the soil and the varieties that made our own distinct style of wine that could be the equal of the great wines of the world, but it did require the winegrowing and the wisdom to know how to present it to the world.” By the early 1970s, in another part of the country, I became acutely aware of Napa’s growing reputation when I made my first wine trip to France. As a newly minted wine writer, based in Colorado, I sensed that California wines were on the verge of making a major impact in the world wine market and that Colorado was hardly a thriving wine region. Fact is, although California wines were gaining shelf space in Denver, it was clear that Americans were then more Euro-centric in their wine tastes. It was a sign I took to heart while planning for my first trips as a wine writer. I mistakenly figured that the French winemakers on my travel itinerary would be well versed on California wine, so I should be prepared.

  • 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.

  • Phenolic Compounds As Markers of Wine Quality and Authenticity
    foods Review Phenolic Compounds as Markers of Wine Quality and Authenticity Vakare˙ Merkyte˙ 1,2 , Edoardo Longo 1,2,* , Giulia Windisch 1,2 and Emanuele Boselli 1,2 1 Faculty of Science and Technology, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Piazza Università 5, 39100 Bozen-Bolzano, Italy; [email protected] (V.M.); [email protected] (G.W.); [email protected] (E.B.) 2 Oenolab, NOI Techpark South Tyrol, Via A. Volta 13B, 39100 Bozen-Bolzano, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0471-017691 Received: 29 October 2020; Accepted: 28 November 2020; Published: 1 December 2020 Abstract: Targeted and untargeted determinations are being currently applied to different classes of natural phenolics to develop an integrated approach aimed at ensuring compliance to regulatory prescriptions related to specific quality parameters of wine production. The regulations are particularly severe for wine and include various aspects of the viticulture practices and winemaking techniques. Nevertheless, the use of phenolic profiles for quality control is still fragmented and incomplete, even if they are a promising tool for quality evaluation. Only a few methods have been already validated and widely applied, and an integrated approach is in fact still missing because of the complex dependence of the chemical profile of wine on many viticultural and enological factors, which have not been clarified yet. For example, there is a lack of studies about the phenolic composition in relation to the wine authenticity of white and especially rosé wines. This review is a bibliographic account on the approaches based on phenolic species that have been developed for the evaluation of wine quality and frauds, from the grape varieties (of V.
