Chandler Reach Vineyards Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Yakima Valley, USA

錢德勒河酒莊珍藏赤霞珠干紅葡萄酒

點擊次數(shù)：2078

The blend includes 3% Cab Franc; which added some aromatics. Normally Chandler Reach wines are pure varietals; in this instance the Franc rounded out the midpalate and ramped up the scents. There’s a firm streak of mineral, iron and anise. With cheese and smoked meats, sweetness emerges.——P.G.(12/31/2008)—— 92

The Parris wines are the estate-grown reserves, and as the vineyard matures, the wines should gain in concentration and complexity. As before, the Cabernet shows clean, ripe but still young fruit, sweet and plump. Subtle notes are your reward if you are willing to give it some extra attention—finishing streaks of black tea, ground coffee, toffee, pepper and herb. Though 60% new French oak was used, the wine has adjusted well and kept its elegant balance. ——P.G.(5/1/2007)—— 91

Estate reserve, the first for this winery. Good fruit, sweet and plump, and a moderate 13.8% alcohol. Nice integration of supple tannins, black tea, ground coffee, toffee and a bit of pepper. Powerful without being overblown. ——P.G.(12/15/2005)—— 90
