点评:I wonder how it feels to be surrounded by wines that bear your name. Not your family name — but your first name. That’s the one question I didn’t ask Solena when she greeted us at the vineyard that bears her name. Her father is one of the most famous winemakers in the Valley and the pictures of the two of them making wine adorn the tasting room.
All this would have been just a nice experience if the wines were not incredible. Thankfully — they were just that. We started with the Rose which was “surprising”. Not at all your typical French-style Rose. Still bone dry but with floral notes and a complexity that is uncommon in our experience. This is a sipping Rose — not just a “sit on the patio on a hot day” Rose.
Then, of course, we moved onto the Pinot Noirs. Each better than the prior. We started with the current vintage and then stepped back 10 years to 2014 just to see how the wine matures over time. WOW! This is why you visit a vineyard and not just a wine store. What a great experience.
Highly recommended! No wonder they consistently get scores in the 94-96 range.
翻译:我想知道被以你的名字命名的葡萄酒包围的感觉如何。不是你的姓氏——而是你的名字。当索莱娜在以她的名字命名的葡萄园迎接我们时,我没有问她这个问题。她的父亲是山谷最著名的酿酒师之一,他们两人酿酒的照片装饰着品酒室。
如果葡萄酒不是令人难以置信的话,这一切都会是一次美好的体验。谢天谢地——它们确实令人难以置信。我们先品尝了“令人惊讶”的玫瑰酒。完全不是典型的法式玫瑰酒。仍然非常干,但带有花香和我们体验过的不同寻常的复杂性。这是一款啜饮玫瑰酒——而不仅仅是“在炎热的天气坐在露台上”的玫瑰酒。
然后,当然,我们转向了黑皮诺。每一款都比前一款更好。我们从当前年份开始,然后回溯到 10 年前的 2014 年,只是为了看看这款酒随着时间的推移如何成熟。哇!这就是您参观葡萄园而不仅仅是葡萄酒商店的原因。多么棒的体验。
强烈推荐!难怪他们一直获得 94-96 分。
