也算喝过了，但是感觉还是稍有点喝得快，没醒够的样子。时间长应该还会有变化

梅瑞塔吉Meritage 这个词由America中的 “M” 和Heritage 中的“eritage ”构成，是指Bordeaux Blend 完全使用波尔多传统的葡萄品种调配而成，应该是美国加州每个酒厂最好的专属品牌（Proprietary）葡萄酒。只是有时候在Napa Valley 赤霞珠的使用比例可能高达85%---90% 最著名的Meritage Wine包括Dominus ( Christian Moueix), Opus One ( Mondavi / Rothschild) 红葡萄品种包括：Cabernet Sauvignon，Merlot，Cabernet Franc，Petit Verdot，Malbec，白葡萄品种包括：Sauvignon Blanc，Semilion，Muscadelle

经过漫长的冬天，身体一下子适应不了室温高的环境喝酒。还好是和志同道合的酒友一起，弥补了这个不足。参考Wine Advocate的酒评，01年的比例是 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot。下面是著名品酒师的酒评。 Business Week - Robert Park - April 23, 2007 95 Points "The impeccably made 2001...boasts a dense plum/purple color in addition to a fragrant perfume of cocoa, cedar, coffee, roasted herbs, and black fruits. Rich and medium- to full-bodied, with sweet but noticeable tannin, a layered mid-palate, and a long finish, it will require three to four years of cellaring. It should last for two decades." Washington Post - Ben Giliberti - December 15, 2004 "The 2001 is a top-notch wine that combines the deep, fleshy structure of a classic Napa Valley Cabernet with the subtle nuances of Bordeaux winemaking." Wine Enthusiast - S.H. - October 01, 2004 94 points "As good as the 2001 Napanook is, this wine is more intense. The fruit is lusher, the oak newer, the control more complete, but the kicker is the tannins. They’re powerful and dusty, and conceal the flamboyance, for now. This is a monster of a wine that desperately needs time before exploding. Hold until 2010 and beyond." International Wine Cellar - Steve Tanzer - May 2004 93 Points "Good ruby-red. Superripe aromas of plum, cherry, licorice, mocha, smoke and minerals. At once sweet and gripping, with very intense, nuanced flavors of cherry, plum, currant, tobacco, minerals and currant leaf. Despite the very high pH of 4.01, this shows no shortage of energy in the mouth. A muscular, firmly tannic, serious wine for aging. (A second sample that had been decanted for four hours prior to my visit was sweeter and more seamless, but still showed solid tannic spine.)" The Wine Advocate - Robert Parker - December 2003 95 Points "The impeccably made 2001 Dominus boasts a dense plum/purple color in addition to a fragrant, promising perfume of cocoa, cedar, coffee, roasted herbs, and copious quantities of black fruits. There are 7,000 cases of this 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot blend. Rich and medium to full-bodied, with sweet but noticeable tannin, a layered mid-palate, and a long finish with obvious tannin, it will require 3-4 years of cellaring. It should last for two decades."

我当晚指出这款酒欠缺清新的酸度，不是我喜欢的类型。它的pH4.01挺高的，如果年轻时喝，浓郁的果味和显眼的单宁可以稍微弥补，让你感觉不到活力的欠缺。可是当它老化后，果味稍退，单宁软化，酸度的不足这时候会越来越明显。这是我这个业余爱好者的看法。下面是Michael Apstein在05年采访Christian Mouiex的其中一段： ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As we tasted various vintages of Dominus, I got the sense that Moueix-always a perfectionist-was not quite satisfied with many of the wines. He sometimes wonders whether Napa Valley is too warm to produce what he calls "wines of sensitivity." A problem in Napa Valley is that heat spikes in September can send the grapes' sugar levels from not quite ripe to over ripe quickly while the ripeness of tannins and flavor compounds lags behind. The dilemma for winemakers is difficult: should one pick earlier at lower sugar levels, when tannins may be astringent but when one can make wines with lower alcohol and more elegance, or later and riper, when tannins are supple but alcohol can be inelegantly high? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Moueix plans to deal with this dilemma in a way that contradicts conventional wisdom. Although it is now widely believed that lowering yields invariably heightens quality, Moueix plans to increase yields slightly at Dominus. His theory is that a larger crop will take longer to ripen, giving tannins time to ripen before sugar levels become excessive. Judging by Moueix's extraordinary track record, I suspect that Dominus-which is already superb-will become even better in years to come.

加州属于温带海洋性气候，年平均日照超过3000小时，所以葡萄的成熟度很高，果香浓郁，欠缺的就是足够的酸度，这是风土所致。RP95 分的Dominus已经算是有平衡的酸度了

应酬了整个星期，每天都喝多。可能身体状态不好，下次再带一瓶咱们仔细品一品。

这个是Napa第二？

当然产量极低的膜拜酒是单算的。这是我在加州时当地公认的top wine的第二，是销量、售价、打分和口碑的综合。

当然不是按国内对美国酒的理解认知和售价:-)
