リキッドファーム メーカーズディナー 二番目のシャルドネはゴールデンスロープ ニュートラルフレンチオーク88%、ステンレスタンク12%、11ヶ月熟成 レジュメには『蜂蜜、蜜蝋、焼いたパン、白い花、かりん、柑橘、生クリーム、ナツメグ、カルダモン、マジパン、グリーンパイナップル』と書かれていますが、私が特に感じたのは、蜜、焼いたパン、白い花、かりんでした。 これはかなり好み❣️ 時間が経っても香りは落ちませんでした HPより： INTRODUCING THE 2014 GOLDEN SLOPE. This vintage has all the stuff that makes GS, "GS". A bit richer and fuller than the White Hill. A silkier texture and warmer tones all around. Its more Summer/Fall than it is Winter/Spring (like the White Hill). We can't wait to see how this wine continues to develop over the months and years in bottle! TASTING NOTES: subtle aromas of raw honey, beeswax, baked sourdough and white flowers. The palate gives flavors of quince, tangelo, and creme fraiche with subtle hints of nutmeg and cardamom. A very long, lingering finish with flavors of marzipan and green pineapple that leaves your mouth-popping and (at least for us!) craving another sip. $52 LF Wines With only 4 barrels to start in 2009, all from the same vineyard, the original idea was to make one wine. The wine itself had a different plan and we gladly listened. Two of the four barrels made up White Hill. With a more mineral driven profile, those barrels reminded us of drinking 1er Cru Chablis and were given their name in honor of the chalky white hills of Chablis and diatomaceous earth of Sta. Rita Hills. The other two barrels had a profile of warmer tones and were texturally more voluptuous, reminding us of Meursault and the other sexy wines from the Cote d' Or (Slope of Gold) we are admittingly addicted to. Hence, the first two bottlings were born: White Hill and Golden Slope. In 2011 we had the opportunity to make a little Bandol-inspired Rosé and since we drink white and Rosé like water all year-round, it seemed like a pretty good idea. 2013 harvest brought the opportunity to branch out with a small amount of Chardonnay from the neighboring, sister AVA of Santa Maria.

普通に自宅で飲むくらいならこれが新樽も使わずにナチュラルで美味しそう♪ ちなみにニュートラルオークで2.3年落ちくらいの樽のことですか？？

YDさん ワインの値段を聞いてなかったので、普通に自宅で飲めるレベルのものかどうかは不明ですが、よくあるカリフォルニア樽ドネとは明らかに違うので、機会があれば是非お試しを！ レジュメによると彼らが使うニュートラルオークは最低4〜5年使用したものだそうです。
