Background Story:
Pinot Noir 在電影”杯酒人生(Sideway)”裡脫穎而出, 今年此品種的紅酒銷售量大幅提升了20幾個百分點, 也拜這部電影之賜, Pinot Noir 的價格整整一年居高不下, 直到最近才稍微找到幾家酒廠把價格給調降下來, 因此趕緊就這機會好好地品嚐此款葡萄酒風味, 看這葡萄品種是不是有如劇中男主角所描述, 體質纖膩, 需要多加心力地去種植與照顧, 而不像 Merlot 般地豐腴飽滿, 隨處可見.

Official Comment:
Our wines capture the natural fruit flavors and aromas of the grape while also maintaining overall balance. This 2004 Pinot noir is mediun-bodied with flavors of black cherry and blackcurrant, ripe plums enhanced by a smooth velvety finish.

Personal Comment:
Sight: Fresh bright garnet. Thin tears.
Nose: Blackberry, alcohol aromas.
Taste: Fruity and ripe dry pinot noir. Plum flavor comes after a while. Medium-bodied red wine. Price is affordable. Drink more if one likes it. Cheers…
這次對 Pinot Noir 整體的印象極佳, 口感非常地舒適而不膩, 有機會將會嚐試更多不同酒廠的 Pinot Noir.
