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/

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.
(15.8 points) Decanter Rating
