Gewürztraminer 2013

2014 - Brilliant, reflective, dark straw with a copper hue and a thin water white rim. Intensely aromatic, floral dominant, rose blossom, hibiscus, honeysuckle, subtle stone fruit and citrus, apricot, orange peel, and cantaloupe, a fleeting wisp of cigarette smoke. A dry wine but the mouth-filling perfume leaves a perception of sweetness. Medium plus alcohol lends a lingering warmth and viscosity to the palate. Medium plus acid and a touch of bitterness gives balance to the juicy ripe fruit aromas in the mouth. Fruit and floral aromas confirmed in the mouth with an additional hint of marmalade, and spicy ginger — 7 years ago

Chris Ringland 가 WineMaker를 했네요
첫잔을 따르니 세월이 작 녹아 들어가 있는 체리빛 색상으로 불곤스러운 자태를 보여주네요
아로마는 약간의 동물적인 가죽냄새를 시작으로, 시나몬, 레드베리의 느낌이 잘 느껴집니다.
밸런스도 잘잡혀 있구요. 무베드르의 특징을 아주 잘 뽑아준 와인입니다.

Upon second day evaluation and research i see this wine has american oak. This explains the new smell. That tomato element was new to me. Upon further investigation i realized this was a roasted or even sun dried tomato smell. This is associated with the oak. Very cool wine, this makes me want to sample other american oaked shiraz.

Iron Horse Vineyards

Estate Chardonnay 2012

2012 Napa/Sonoma closeout Chardonnay face-off. If you were going to make a movie theater popcorn flavor of chewing gum, you’d want to drink the William Hill before you started just to make sure you got it right. It’s a Willy Wonka expression of malolactic fermentation. The Iron Horse brings more precision along with more restraint. Focused stone fruit infused with lemongrass and lychee lead the way to a lime and mineral driven finish. — 7 years ago
