Château Mercian Private Reserve Koshu Toriibira — 12 years ago
Oldest vines I. Japan — 6 years ago
Usually not a huge fan of Koshu grapes as they always seem very flat in terms of flavors, lack complexity, etc. Good for easy summer drinking outside when very chilled. But this had tons of energy and had a bit more of a tropical profile given the warmer location vs other vineyards. Great new domaine from the former winemaker at both Mercian and Katsunuma Jyozo (both top domaines in the Koshu region). — 7 years ago

Smells like a Sauvignon blanc, tastes like a muscadet. Floral and light citrus on the nose, peach and mango on the palate. — 10 years ago
Local wine from the Nagano prefecture. Pretty good, considering I had no idea they made wine from grapes in Japan! — 11 years ago
That was fun. Will definitely give more Japanese wine a go — 11 years ago
