美國酒莊


Diamond Creek

 
 
位於鑽石山Diamond Mountains山腳下的Diamond Creek酒莊,擁有與附近土質大不相同的特性,屬於土質肥沃的火山岩,含有豐富的各種礦物質,能夠提供葡萄堅實風格與多層風味;莊主Al Brounstein原本是位藥商,再1967年購得這塊土地後,變仿照勃根地傳統的特級葡萄園分類法,依照土質特性將擁有的地塊分成五個園區,不過種植的卻是波爾多品種,其中四個獨立莊瓶,第五個園主要種植Petite Verdot品種來增強其他酒款,現在每款酒都產量稀少,是美國膜拜酒的當然成員,一出廠就被瘋狂搶購,老年份更是一瓶難得。
 
旗下的火山園『Volcanic Hill』有3.2公頃,位於朝南的坡面,表現出地塊的熱情風味,是四款作品中最強勁有活力,單寧豐富耐於久存,紅石園『Red Rock Terrace』在溪谷朝北,佔地2.8公頃,土壤含有豐富鐵質,果味較為豐富,表現更顯優雅,碎石草原『Gravelly Meadow』有2公頃,果香較輕柔,卻凸顯出葡萄酒不可缺的豐富的礦物質風味,僅0.3公頃的湖園『Lake』是四款中最優雅靈巧的作品,產量極少一瓶難求。

使用勃根地特級葡萄園概念所打造的波爾多風格,為美國的經典膜拜酒。

 

旗下的火山園『Volcanic Hill』有3.2公頃,位於朝南的坡面,表現出地塊的熱情風味,是四款作品中最強勁有活力,單寧豐富耐於久存,WS給予94分並建議為『酒窖之選』。

 

Volcanic Hill is comprised of 8 acres of south facing hillside vineyard.  It is the warmest of all our micro-climates.  The color of the soil is gray, and the consistency is that of fluffy, volcanic ash, originally deposited from the eruption of Mt. Konocti 8 million years ago. 

 

Volcanic Hill is the longest lived of our wines. Our winemaker describes these wines as "full bodied, loaded with intense ripe berry fruit, cassis, violets and a smoky richness, finishing with good length and firm tannins."

 

The Volcanic Hill bottling includes a small amount of the extra-ordinary Petit Verdot grape.

 

 

Wine Spectator:94 points(Cellar Selection)

Firm and tightly structured at this stage, giving just a peek at its dense, rich core of earthy currant, anise, mineral and berry flavors before the tannins weigh in and wrap up the finish. Cellaring is recommended for this California Cab, and it should easily age.
