Tasting Notes Autumn 2021 Tasting Notes 2015 Aglianico Gold | Platinum 2015 Barbera Gold Platinum 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Gold | Platinum 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Concierge 2014 Carignane Platinum 2014 Malbec Gold Concierge 2015 Merlot Concierge 2015 Petite Sirah Gold | Platinum 2017 Syrah Concierge The busy season is here... As autumn approaches, we’re keeping an eye on the ripening grapes while preparing to bottle the remainder of the 2019 vintage, and thus make room in the cellar for the new wines to come. The general buzz on the grapevine (pun intended!) is that this vintage will be a bit ear- lier than usual, and that vineyard yields will be less than average. So much comes down to the last month or so of ripening in the vineyard, and we’re just entering that time as this goes to print. Fingers crossed, for an excellent, and “uneventful” harvest! With gratitude and appreciation for our wine club friends, all of us at Amphora Winery wish you a wonderful autumn, and CHEERS! Our 2015 Aglianico (pronounced ah-YAH-nee-koh) was our second vintage to spend time aging in our terracotta amphorae, and the influence of the clay lends an old-world profile to this wine: bracing yet gentle tannins, a clean minerality, and subtle red fruit notes. The character of this varietal works well with the clay influence, and makes for a food-friendly wine. This one will age elegantly for years, and if you plan to enjoy it in the short-term, be sure to decant it. Delightful pairings include cacio e pepe, and grill roasted lamb with rosemary and garlic. True consistency is a hallmark of this vineyard, and this 2014 confirms our experience. The tightly-wound dark fruit notes unreel to a delicious blackberry-black currant concentrate with a lush mouthfeel. This wine is immediately approachable, and the first sip invites the second… and a third. Just like the 2013 vintage, we suggest a food-pairing paying homage to Malbec’s New World second-home Argentina. Perhaps chimichurri-grilled flank steak, or a wintry braise of lamb shanks seasoned with rosemary and lavender. This wine is an excellent example of just how well Cabernet can perform in Dry Creek Valley: appealing aromatics of blackcurrant with a touch of cedar, and a juicy combination of both dark and red fruit flavors, all wrapped up in a “just-right” framework. This block of Cabernet Sauvignon is on the bench- lands immediately east of the winery, and the grapes arrive at the crusher so fresh and beautiful that fermenters of de-stemmed grapes look like they’re filled with just-picked blueberries. For a great autumnal pairing, consider squash/pumpkin ravioli with brown butter and sage! Our Barbera consistently shows a delicious combination of savory notes and dark fruit character, and our 2015 is true to form. This one is a bit deeper and darker than some of its predecessors, and has a very appealing dark berry fruit on top of that typical vineyard clean loamy earthiness . Its lively mouth- feel carries a nice brightness and moderate tannins round out the profile. This wine would stand up well to garlicky tomato sauces, eggplant parm...and you get the idea! As the soul of many a zinfandel blend, Petite Sirah’s deep midnight-blue color, sturdy tannins, and ripe plum/blackberry fruit character can satisfy one’s craving for a big, red wine. But it’s a grape that requires a deft touch in winemaking, in order to avoid over-extraction, and a subsequent loss of balance in the finished wine. Rick has honed just such a touch over 25 years of crafting iconic Dry Creek Valley Petite Sirah, and now with some thirteen vintages from the Bevill/Wolcott Vineyard This 2015 rendition is true to form, with deep-noted dark plum that finishes with a just a touch of anise. The ideal pairing just might be a grilled rib-eye steak, but don’t rule out grilled eggplant and zucchini! You might think that it has small berries-NOT particularly. You’d think it was Syrah- NOPE! Here’s the timeline of perhaps the most confusing grape name in California winemaking: 1880: Dr. Durif, a nurseryman in the south of France, releases a new variety that he bred. Oddly enough, it is called “Durif. ~ 1884: The Durif grape is introduced into California, and some winegrowers call it “Petite Sirah”, a name commonly used for Durif in some regions of France. ~ 1885-1930’s: Petite Sirah grows in popularity in California, and arrives in Dry Creek Valley. Local vintners find it to be a natural field -blend partner for Zinfandel. During Prohibition, it is shipped east by the boxcar- load to home winemakers to make their “medicine”. ~ 1940s: The first varietal bottlings in California of “Durif” and “Petite Sirah”. ~ 1976: Petite Sirah acreage in California peaks at 14,000, and it is one of the predominant grapes in Napa Valley. 1995: Petite Sirah plantings fall to a record low of 1,400 acres. ~ 1997: Rick Hutchinson is inspired by the intense character of Dry Creek Valley Petite Sirah fruit, and launches Amphora Winery. ~ 1998: At UC Davis, Dr. Carole Meredith uses DNA fingerprinting to determine the parentage of Petite Sirah/Durif. It turns out to be the love-child of Syrah (!) and Peloursin. ~ 2018: Petite Sirah is back: about 12,000 acres thrive in California, with more than 300 producers worldwide. That means it is still a relative rarity, alongside about 90,000 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon… We’re pleased to welcome Syrah back to our lineup after a hiatus of several vintages. Our first stand-alone Syrah since the 2014 vintage, our 2017 is true to the spirit of this Rhône varietal: it is blue-black in color, with deep-noted aromas of blackberry, menthol and sweet spices embraced in a substantial core of black fruit flavors and firm tannins. This wine definitely has the heft and depth to age beautifully for years. For more immediate enjoyment, de- cant or aerate a bottle, and have it with smoked sausages, Duck Confit, Cas- soulet, or braised shortribs. We invite you to dive deeply into our latest rendi- tion of this noble Rhône varietal, and renew your enchantment with this most enigmatic of wines. A consistent aromatic complexity characterizes this vineyard (which is directly across Dry Creek Road from the winery). In 2015, the wine is redolent of raspberry, sandalwood, and a note which reminds us of a dusty hay field in late summer. The mouthfeel is solid, and the flavors of raspberry and dark cocoa are held nicely in a frame of medium-weight tannins. The finish lingers with a touch of vanilla and cinnamon. Try this one with a roast pork tenderloin with a cherry glaze, or a chickpea and cauliflower tagine. This special vineyard block is just north of the winery, and has 70-80 year- old Carignane vines that produce concentrated, flavorful grapes. Our 2014 may be Rick’s best vintage of this varietal: its rich aromas of blackberry and creamy oak introduce the full-bodied, dark-fruit-highlighted wine spiced with hints of black pepper and licorice. The finish is sustained for a long while. This one is wonderful to sip on its own, but even better with a good meal. A recently-opened bottle tasted even better on the second and third day. The Timber Crest Vineyard is our go-to for Cabernet Sauvignon that expresses the complex character of the varietal, while also showing the easygoing and approachable qualities so common in Dry Creek Valley red wines. Our 2016 greets you with a ripe Bing cherry and black currant nose that seamlessly lead through to the finish. You might sense a hint of red licorice and mint alongside the dark fruit. This vintage is a little bigger in structure, and will benefit from another couple of years in bottle. Consider popping the cork on this one when you have the time and inclination to sit and ponder a glass (or three). Winning food pairings for this wine lean towards grilled red meats and braised greens.

  • Discrimination of Brazilian Red Varietal Wines According to Their Sensory
    1172 DISCRIMINATION OFMIELE, BRAZILIAN A. & RIZZON, REDL. A. VARIETAL WINES ACCORDING TO THEIR SENSORY DESCRIPTORS Discriminação de vinhos tintos Brasileiros varietais de acordo com suas características sensoriais Alberto Miele1, Luiz Antenor Rizzon2 ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper was to establish the sensory characteristics of wines made from old and newly introduced red grape varieties. To attain this objective, 16 Brazilian red varietal wines were evaluated by a sensory panel of enologists who assessed wines according to their aroma and flavor descriptors. A 90 mm unstructured scale was used to quantify the intensity of 26 descriptors, which were analyzed by means of the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The PCA showed that three important components represented 74.11% of the total variation. PC 1 discriminated Tempranillo, Marselan and Ruby Cabernet wines, with Tempranillo being characterized by its equilibrium, quality, harmony, persistence and body, as well as by, fruity, spicy and oaky characters. The other two varietals were defined by vegetal, oaky and salty characteristics; PC 2 discriminated Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Arinarnoa, where Pinot Noir was characterized by its floral flavor; PC 3 discriminated only Malbec, which had weak, floral and fruity characteristics. The other varietal wines did not show important discriminating effects. Index terms: Sensory analysis, enology, Vitis vinifera. RESUMO Conduziu-se este trabalho, com o objetivo de determinar as características sensoriais de vinhos tintos brasileiros elaborados com cultivares de uva introduzidos no país há algum tempo e outros, mais recentemente. Para tanto, as características de 16 vinhos tintos varietais brasileiros foram determinadas por um painel formado por enólogos que avaliaram os vinhos de acordo com suas características de aroma e sabor.

  • Introducing California Wines
    Chapter 1 Introducing California Wines In This Chapter ▶ The gamut of California’s wine production ▶ California wine’s international status ▶ Why the region is ideal for producing wines ▶ California’s colorful wine history ll 50 U.S. states make wine — mainly from grapes but in some Acases from berries, pineapple, or other fruits. Equality and democracy end there. California stands apart from the whole rest of the pack for the quantity of wine it produces, the international reputation of those wines, and the degree to which wine has per- meated the local culture. To say that in the U.S., wine is California wine is not a huge exaggeration. If you want to begin finding out about wine, the wines of California are a good place to start. If you’re already a wine lover, chances are that California’s wines still hold a few surprises worth discov- ering. To get you started, we paint the big picture of California wine in this chapter. Covering All the Bases in WineCOPYRIGHTED Production MATERIAL Wine, of course, is not just wine. The shades of quality, price, color, sweetness, dryness, and flavor among wines are so many that you can consider wine a whole world of beverages rather than a single product. Can a single U.S. state possibly embody this whole world of wine? California can and does. Whatever your notion of wine is — even if that changes with the seasons, the foods you’re preparing, or how much you like the people you’ll be dining with — California has that base covered.

  • 2020 King Estate Rosé of Pinot Noir
    2020 WILLAMETTE VALLEY ROSÉ OF PINOT NOIR Rosé is often associated with summer, it is growing in popularity as devotees discover it is delicious to sip all year long. Typically Rosé is made from red wine grapes, either a single varietal or a blend. In the United States, Rosé made from Pinot Noir grapes is most popular. In Oregon, famed for growing outstanding Pinot Noir, it’s only natural that our take on Rosé starts with the fruit that put Oregon on the map. TASTING NOTES A lovely peach-tinged rose color in the glass, this wine displays fragrances of rose petal and strawberries on the nose, along with notes of lime, passion fruit and chalk. Flavors of summer berries – strawberry and raspberry – mingle with hints of rose water, passion fruit and lime zest along with wet limestone. On the entry, the wine is well balanced with fresh acidity and optimal roundness on the mid-palate. The acidity mellows a bit near the end for a lush finish. WINEMAKING PROCESS The fruit was whole cluster pressed and left to sit on its skins just long enough to release the juice and develop the pink color before moving to a temperature-controlled stainless steel tank for fermentation. The wine was aged in stainless steel. VINTAGE NOTES Marked by extreme and rare weather events, 2020 will nevertheless yield excellent wines. Up until Labor Day, conditions for wine grapes were mostly warm and dry although wide swings between early heat and cool weather in the spring led to high amounts of shatter with smaller berries and clusters.

  • 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.

  • MÜLLER THURGAU CUVÉE SPECIALE MILLESIMATO 2017 Vigneti Delle Dolomiti IGT Charmat Method
    MÜLLER THURGAU CUVÉE SPECIALE MILLESIMATO 2017 Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT Charmat Method General characteristics From the Müller Thurgau grape varietal obtained by Prof. Herman Müller, a researcher from the Canton of Thurgau (Switzerland), crossing Rhine Riesling and Chasselas in 1882. Production area High hills or mountains at altitudes up to 800 meters above sea level in areas of the Trentino region particularly suited to the production of white grapes (Cembra Valley, Cavedine Valley, Brentonico Plateau), with wide temperature variations during maturation. The types of soil vary according to the area of cultivation, with landforms of fluvio-glacial origin in the Cavedine Valley and on the Brentonico Plateau, and of volcanic origin, produced by the disintegration and erosion of porphyritic rock, in the Cembra Valley. Grape varietals Exclusively Müller with yields not exceeding 90 hl/ha. Weather conditions: A relatively cold, dry winter was followed by heavy rain during the spring, which continued into the early part of the summer. Stronger sunshine from the middle of July brought about wide temperature variations, continuing until mid-October. As a result, the grape harvest began during the first ten days of September, and took place without haste. The grapes were perfectly ripe with perfectly- balanced acidity levels. Vinification and aging Grapes are rigorously selected and hand harvested in crates; this is followed by soft pressing with a brief cold maceration on the skins. White vinification is carried out at a controlled temperature. After a short period of stabilization, the second fermentation takes place slowly in a large tank, enhancing the subtlety of the varietal aromas.

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.
