    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.

Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable.

  • 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon

    2019 Cabernet Sauvignon

    2019 CABERNET SAUVIGNON WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS Grapes for our Helderberg Cabernet Sauvignon are sourced from the renowned Helderberg mountainous area around Stellenbosch. With its big diurnal range and combination of unique soils such as decomposed dolomite granite, Table Mountain sandstone, and “koffieklip,” these mountains are considered prime terroir for Cabernet Sauvignon in South Africa, often said to contribute to the typical Cape garrigue or “fynbos” character. The fine tannin structure another characteristic of grapes sourced from the Helderberg area as a direct result of the colder climatic conditions and influences from the False Bay microclimate. After cold maceration, for optimal extraction of color, flavor, and tannins, the primary fermentation was started with selected native yeast. The wine was French oak matured for 12 months, of which 30% was in new barriques and 70% in older barriques. After maturation, the assemblage was done, using only the very best components to create a sleek, sophisticated Cabernet full of cassis flavor, yet with elegant, refreshing red fruit undertones. This wine is deliciously approachable now but will keep for a further three to five years. TASTING NOTES The nose is subtle yet utterly sophisticated with its compote of blueberries, mulberries, and blackberries, and hints of garrigue and mocha. Cassis, blackberries, and Cape fynbos dominate a dark, brooding mid-palate. Tannins are fine and grippy, creating structure and a certain nervosité with the vibrant lemony acidity. The wine lingers on the finish with notes of tarragon, marjoram, and dill. ANALYSIS Alc: 14.58 % RS: 3.1 g/L TA: 5.2 g/L pH: 3.81 Vineyard Brands | www.vineyardbrands.com | Birmingham, AL HEL4005.

    F6.2 Eastern Garrigue

    European Red List of Habitats - Heathland Habitat Group F6.2 Eastern garrigue Summary This is open, low scrub dominated by sclerophyllous shrubs and sub-shrubs that is derived from degraded evergreen forest and maquis in the eastern Mediterranean including the Black Sea coast, and sustained by summer aridity, grazing and fire. The floristic composition is diverse and dependent on geographical position across the range, altitude and the particularity of human impact. Abandonment or intensive grazing are the main threats and no particular conservation measures are needed if traditional agriculture is maintained. Synthesis Relatively few quantitative data exist, but all information indicates that the habitat is Least Concern (LC), as declines in quality are relatively small and the habitat is widespread and increasing in area in the Eastern Mediterranean. Overall Category & Criteria EU 28 EU 28+ Red List Category Red List Criteria Red List Category Red List Criteria Least Concern - Least Concern - Sub-habitat types that may require further examination Various communities and associations have been identified within the distribution range of the habitat, which might be considered geographically and ecologically distinguished sub-habitat types and would require further examination.

    Garrigue” Is One of Those Perfect Wine Words — a Concise Term That Encompasses a Larger, and Very Beautiful, Idea

    Domaine de la Terre Rouge TERRE ROUGE® AND EASTON WINES Tis minty red blend shows how wines can take on the flavors of plants that grow nearby Esther Mobley April 28, 2021 “Garrigue” is one of those perfect wine words — a concise term that encompasses a larger, and very beautiful, idea. Te word refers to the unique mix of vegetation that grows throughout part of southern France, near the Mediterranean Sea: fragrant, shrubby plants including lavender, thyme, rosemary, white flowers and juniper. It’s thought that the oils from the native flora make their way onto grapes in nearby vineyards, imbuing the resulting wines with the intoxicating fla- vors and aromas that recall those plants. Tat exact set of flora doesn’t appear in California, of course, but we do have our own version of garrigue. Ours is called chaparral, and it is ofen marked by the presence of scrub oak, sage, chamise and manzanita, among other plants.

A delicious red wine from the Sierra foothills, in Amador County, pays homage to that. Domaine de la Terre Rouge’s Garrigue cuvee is a hearty, rich, structured red, but its overall effect is light- ened by its lilting fragrances and fresh flavors — its deep notes of blackberry and blueberry are countered by lightly herbal and intensely floral accents.

Château de Selle has an area of 345 acres, of which 160 acres are planted. Year after year, the cultivated area of the estate wins over part of the rocky terrain.
