点评:We had heard of Archery Summit from a vineophile friend who had read great things about the winery, but hadn’t had a chance to visit. It was first on our list!
We arrived about a half hour before closing..apologetic and ready to beg for a tasting! Our host, Grayson, was incredibly welcoming and invited us in to talk/taste Pinot Noirs. He presented a custom flite for us, and it was perfect! Grayson is very knowledgeable and did a great job of explaining the predominant drivers for the wine Archery Summit crafts. They specialize in blocks of specific vines and vineyards plots and then blend them to achieve the profile they are looking for. They have everything from new, let it lay for a few years (or 10-15) and let it develop, to wines that are ready now (and will be even more luscious in a few years.
While we were sitting on the deck, sipping and enjoying the remarkable views of the Dundee hills wine country, a really nice guy with a beautiful old yellow Lab walked by. Turns out he was one of the winemakers. Corey Beyer is a gem, and can answer any question you throw at him. Another great person at Archery.
We had a wonderful time with Grayson, Mark, Corey and the rest of the incredibly accommodating, lovely and knowledgeable staff. We joined the Wine Club, and brought home a back-seat full of their wine. We LOVE what they are doing and think this winery will become a big name in the valley. And we can’t wait to see what develops in the bottles we brought home!
翻译:我们之前从一位葡萄酒爱好者朋友那里听说了Archery Summit酒庄,他读过很多关于这家酒庄的好评,但一直没机会去参观。Archery Summit酒庄是我们清单上的第一站!
我们到的时候离酒庄关门还有半小时……我们带着歉意,迫不及待地想请我们品酒!我们的主人Grayson非常热情好客,邀请我们进去品鉴黑皮诺。他为我们准备了定制的酒单,简直完美!Grayson知识渊博,非常详细地解释了Archery Summit酒庄酿造的主要驱动因素。他们专注于特定葡萄藤和葡萄园地块的酿造,然后将它们混合,以达到他们想要的口感。他们酒庄的葡萄酒种类繁多,从新酿的,可以放置几年(或10-15年)让它慢慢发酵的,到现在就可以酿成的葡萄酒(几年后会更加醇厚)。
我们正坐在露台上,一边品尝美酒,一边欣赏邓迪山酒庄的壮丽景色。这时,一位非常友善的男士牵着一只漂亮的老黄色拉布拉多犬走了过来。原来他是酿酒师之一。Corey Beyer 是一位非常优秀的酿酒师,他可以解答你的任何问题。Archery 酒庄的另一位优秀员工。
我们和 Grayson、Mark、Corey 以及其他热情友好、知识渊博的员工度过了一段美好的时光。我们加入了葡萄酒俱乐部,带回了一整排他们的葡萄酒。我们非常喜欢他们所做的一切,并认为这家酒庄会在山谷中声名鹊起。我们迫不及待地想看看带回家的葡萄酒会如何发展!
