很商業化的酒款 - Beringer Founder's Estate 2002 Merlot

Beringer Founder's Estate 2002 Merlot
Varietal: Merlot
Appellation: San Luis Obispo, California
Price: $8.99
Dealer: Food4Less

Background Story:
在 Beringer 的首頁除了列上21歲才准進入外, 此外還僅多放有兩行字:
“Drink resposibly.
  Drive resposibly.”
想必大家在中文的網頁也常見類似的抬頭語,
“酒後不開車,
  開車不喝酒.”
願大家共勉之.

酒廠的原文介紹, 請自翻:

BERINGER FOUNDERS' ESTATE
Beringer Founders' Estate wines combine Beringer's legacy of quality with everyday value. Their flavorful and approachable style is indeed a fitting tribute to founders, Jacob and Frederick Beringer. Created through the teamwork of Beringer Vineyards' wine and food masters, the Founders' Estate wines marry seamlessly with a variety of culinary tastes. The wines are crafted from premium California grapes sourced from coastal vineyards ranging from Santa Barbara north to Mendocino.

Personal Comment:
Sight: Crimson with thin tears.
Nose: Fruity. Pineapple, and caramel aromas.
Taste: Long lingering and intense sweet smell like tropical fruit.
最初買的幾瓶酒之一, 後來才知道, 以這樣的價錢, 已經可以買到很多 WS 或 WA 推薦的好酒, 甚至上90幾分的酒款都多有可選.
鳳梨, 奶香, 及焦糖的香味, 澀度很夠, 餘韻也很長.
