Mount Eden Vinyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 (產量超少的一年) WE93., RP90., Decanter 3 star Category: Red Wine Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc Region: California : Central Coast : Santa Cruz Mountains Producer: Mount Eden Vineyards Retail Price: 45.99 USD COSTCO USA 心得正文：顏色: 邊緣很紅寶石香氣: 這隻酒香氣極強~開瓶之後, 輕輕晃動Riedel 柏根地杯~撲面而來的是, 濃烈強勁的檀香, 一開始真是有點嚇到, 甚至稍有不悅, 想說該不會買到50USD的地雷吧, 不過慢慢就會發現, 紫羅蘭, 玫瑰與各種成熟梅果類好像躲在木質香氣背後, 香氣奔放, 開瓶之後真是滿室馨香口感: 啜吸一口, 完全不是多肉多汁的典型甜美加州酒, 濃郁順口, 丹寧收斂與刺激味蕾的果酸, 讓人體會到一種跳動的口感, 不過還是太年輕, 果醬感, 丹寧的收斂感, 很強, 架構完整, 可以期待陳年的表現, 個人是偏好喝丹寧很強的, 我猜對一般人來講, 丹寧大約中等強度感想: 小弟經驗很淺但這是小弟目前為止喝到最感動的紅酒, 萬萬沒想到, 竟然還是一隻美國酒 , 據酒莊主人兼釀酒師Jeffrey Patterson陳述, 這地區卡本內具低溫生長的特質, 比較沒有高溫生長卡本內常有的藥草味, 他通常都會去採收比較成熟的葡萄來釀酒, 小弟我很認同他的釀酒哲學, 有興趣的朋友可以去他們家網站看看 http://www.mounteden.com/ 照片就看這張 http://www.mounteden.com/ourwines/estatecab.html 此外我會趕快去買個幾瓶, 等我博士班畢業來喝剛剛好, 科科 Wine Enthusiast Mount Eden makes their estate Cab the old-fashioned way: to age. The ’05 is quite tannic and shut down right now, with a hard astringency, especially on the finish. However, it’s rich in black currants, mocha and cedar, and is a natural for many years in the cellar. The score could rise considerably after 2011. Score: 93. —Steve Heimoff, March 01, 2009. Wine Advocate A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc, the dense ruby-hued 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate boasts a sweet nose of incense, toast, charcoal, and red as well as black fruits. Elegant with a first class Bordeaux-like structure, moderate tannin, and outstanding purity and length, it will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age, and should drink well for 15-20. Atypically restrained and subtle for a California Cabernet, this cuvee comes from a mountain vineyard, and it possesses a totally different texture than one normally finds in Napa Cabernets. Score: 90. —Robert Parker, December 2008. Decanter ☆☆☆(3/5) Nice Cabernet fruit: blackberry, spices and hint of pepper Very pleasant, with hints of jam, tobacco and currant fruit. Drink from 2009.
