路易斯馬提尼酒莊赤霞珠干紅葡萄酒（亞歷山大谷）

點擊次數：6414

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley is another outstanding effort from Martini. A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and a dollop of Petite Sirah, it avoids the rusticity and aggressive tannins often found in Alexander Valley Cabernets. It possesses velvety tannins, deep plum, black currant and black cherry notes with loamy, earthy undertones, medium to full body and an elegant personality. Drink it now or cellar it for 15 years. This venerable winery can trace its origins back to 1900 when Louis Martini came to the United States from Genoa, Italy. After a long, distinguished winemaking history, the family sold the winery in 2002 to the Gallo family with whom they had been close friends for decades. Today’s wines may be the finest Louis Martini offerings since the classics they made in the fifties and sixties. The wines reviewed in this report represent an impressive line-up that includes some outrageous values. Moreover, readers should not forget Louis M. Martini’s three Napa Valley offerings that were reviewed in issue #192. Tel. (800) 321-WINE

A soft Cabernet, with sweet, herb-infused black cherry flavors and smooth tannins. An easy wine to drink now. ——S.H.(12/31/2011)—— 85
