&Grape Varieties (葡萄品种)
The taste of wine is inevitably bound up with the grape variety. The fundamental balance of sugar, acid and tannin is particular to each variety.
葡萄酒的风味与酿制所用的葡萄口味密不可分。甜度，酸度及单宁的含量根据葡萄品种不同而异。

Red Grapes (红葡萄)
Cabernet Franc—Medium, blackcurrant, grassy, sometimes earth and raspberry.
Cabernet sauvignon加本力苏维翁（赤霞珠)---Dark, tannic, blackcurrant, cedar, mint, green pepper, chocolate, tobacco, olives
It is the most recognizable and most versatile of the red wine grapes. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape with its thick skin thrives in warm climates and is grown throughout the world. This grape is late ripening, which makes it the slowest wine to mature. It needs time to age in oak or bottle and is at its best blended with Merlot. In Bordeaux the percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon to Merlot may vary from Chateau to Chateau but the influence of the grape is always predominate. A very good example of this grape is Chateau Cos d'Estournel. 是红葡萄品种中最为著名最为丰富多彩的一种。加本力苏维翁葡萄皮较厚，生长于温暖的气候，在世界各地都有种植。此葡萄成熟较晚，并且需要时间在橡木桶中或酒瓶中进行陈年，如与梅洛葡萄混合则口味最佳。在波尔多地区加本力苏维翁和梅洛的混合比例在每个古堡皆有可能不同，但此种葡萄酒的影响是深远悠长的。
口味特征： 黑加仑，雪松，青辣椒，薄荷味，黑巧克力味，烟草味，橄榄味。

Gamay—Light to medium, strawberry, peach, pepper, going to farmyard earthiness, and Pinot –like strawberry jam.

Merlot 梅洛-Full, soft, blackcurrant, honey, raisin, mint, plum. Similar to Cabernet Sauvignon but with more plum and rose than blackcurrants, more spice and rich fruit cake with less mint.
The basis for many fine, very aromatic wines. Merlot is similar to Cabernet Sauvignon, but it is less tannic and has less intense blackberry flavor. It produces a softer, plumper, juicier, earlier maturing wine. Merlot's homeland started in Bordeaux where the most sought after Merlot based wines are from the Pomerol and St-Emilion regions in France. Either used as a blending partner or on its own, Merlot is very much a wine of our times and enjoys enormous popularity throughout the world. A very good example of this grape is Summerfield Merlot.
是多种芳香四溢的精品葡萄酒的基本葡萄品种。梅洛与加本力苏维翁葡萄品种很相似，但单宁味较轻，黑草莓的味道也不是很强烈。此种葡萄品种所酿制的葡萄酒更为柔和，果汁味浓，较为早熟。梅洛葡萄起源于波尔多地区，而最为人们所赞赏熟识的梅洛葡萄酒来自于法国的勃梅龙和圣特米隆地区。不管是与其他葡萄混合或是单独酿制成葡萄酒，梅洛都是一种现代时尚的葡萄品种，享誉中外。
Flavor characteristics:
口味特征：加本力苏维翁葡萄的口味相近，但李子和玫瑰的味道浓于黑加仑，更加麻辣，具有丰富的水果蛋糕味，薄荷味较淡。

Shiraz or syrah 设拉子或设拉---In Australia it is Shiraz and it tends to taste richer, riper and more full-bodied than France's Syrah blended wines such as Chateauneuf du Pape from Rhone, even though they are the same grape. Very few Australian producers do not make a Shiraz wine of some sort. It is the country's most planted wine grape variety. This is a wine that has early drinking appeal and yet has the ability to age for many years. Bridgewater Mill's Shiraz from the South Australia is an award winning Shiraz showing off Australia's rich side of Shiraz.
在澳大利亚称为设拉子，尽管其与法国的设拉属于同一种葡萄，但澳大利亚葡萄的口感比法国设拉混合酿制的葡萄酒，诸如隆河地区的阿维尼翁红更为丰富，成熟，酒体更为丰满。很少有澳大利亚的酿酒商不酿制一些设拉子种类的葡萄酒的。此种葡萄是澳大利亚种植最广泛的种类，在年份尚浅之时喝口感诱人，但也非常适于珍藏多年。位于澳大利亚南部的葡萄酒之路酿造公司水桥磨坊庄园所酿制的设拉子是一获奖的设拉子葡萄酒，充分展示了澳大利亚设拉子葡萄酒的丰富多彩。
Flavor characteristics: Black pepper, chocolate, raspberries, blackberries, spice, leather, game.
口味特征： 黑辣椒, 巧克力, 木莓, 黑莓, 混合的辣味, 皮革和野味。

Malbec 马尔白克---An almost black skinned grape that is known as cot in much of southwest France, Loire Valley and parts of Bordeaux. In Argentina where it is the dominant red wine grape for production, it is known as Malbec. The Malbec grape thrives in warm climates where it can create deep colored, intensely ripe and attractive gamy wines which are well worth aging . The vines are also grown in Chile, Australia, California and northern Italy. A perfect example of this lush grape can be found in Bodega Norton's Malbec from Argentina.
葡萄皮几近黑色，在法国西南部的大部分地区，卢瓦山谷以及波尔多的部分地区都称之为蔻特。阿根廷的红葡萄酒大部分是由此类葡萄品种酿制而成，并在当地被称为马尔贝克。马尔白克葡萄在温暖的气候中蓬勃生长，酿制出来的甘美葡萄酒色彩深重，成熟，非常诱人，值得藏以经年。此类葡萄在智利，澳大利亚，加州和意大利北部均有种植。产于阿根廷门多萨省的诺顿庄园的马尔白克葡萄酒便是此类诱人的葡萄酒的完美典范。
Flavor characteristics: Green pepper, blackcurrants, cherries, spices and tobacco

FINE WINES
口味特征： 青椒，黑加仑，樱桃，麻辣味以及烟草味。

Pinot Noir 黑皮诺---The red grape of Burgundy and Champagne is sweeter, less tannic, richer in texture than Cabernet Sauvignon and therefore can be enjoyed far younger. Pinot Noir is rarely blended except in Champagne. In Burgundy, achieving sufficient ripeness is always a critical factor. In California and Australia, producers suffer the opposite problem: over ripening. These grapes thrive in cool coastal areas with just enough sunlight so they can develop their fruity flavors and rich textures. In Champagne, Pinot Noir has proven itself to be the ideal black grape for making top quality sparkling wine. Oregon, Washington and northern California, where the climate is cool, come some of the best New World Pinot Noir's such is the case with Villa Mt. Eden located in Napa.
相比加本力苏维翁而言，此种种植于勃根第和香槟地区的葡萄口味更甜，单宁味较淡，纤维丰富，因而在年份很浅的时候就能享用。除了香槟这一特例，黑皮诺在绝大多数情况下都不与其他葡萄混合。在法国的勃根第地区葡萄要达到足够的成熟度是一关键的要素。在加州和澳大利亚，葡萄酒生产商面对着不同的问题：过分成熟。这些葡萄生长于凉爽的沿海地区，光照适宜，使得此类葡萄得以具有果香浓郁的口感和丰富的纤维。在香槟地区，黑皮诺向世人证明了其是酿制高质量的气泡酒理想的葡萄。在华盛顿州和加州北部气候凉爽，酿制的黑皮诺葡萄酒是新世界产区中最好的品种，产于纳帕谷伊甸园的黑皮诺葡萄酒便是典型的代表。
Flavor characteristics: Raspberries, strawberries, cherries, cranberries, violets, roses, and game.
口味特征： 木莓，草莓，樱桃，紫罗兰，玫瑰和野味。

Nebbiolo 内毕罗---Nebbiolo is the great grape of the Piedmont region in Italy. It is the grape of Barolo and Barbaresco wines. This grape when made into wine has a range from smooth and fruity to full and robust. It ages superbly. The Nebbiolo wines are fussy about both site and soil in which they are grown. They produce best when they are grown in hills where they are allowed to ripen shrouded by autumn fog or Nebbia, which may have inspired its name. This makes some of Italy's most luxurious, most vigorous, silky, incisive and memorable red wines. A perfect example of a lush rich Barolo is made by Marchesei Di Barolo.
内毕罗是意大利皮特蒙地区的著名葡萄品种。它是酿制巴罗洛和巴芭罗斯克葡萄酒的基本成分。此类葡萄酿制而成的葡萄酒感觉滑爽，果香浓郁，酒体饱满，强劲，适于陈年。种植内毕罗葡萄对于地区和土壤是很挑剔的。质量最好的此类品种为种植在山峡中的葡萄，在山峡中，葡萄可以在秋雾，或内毕罗的环绕中成熟，这也就是内毕罗葡萄名称的由来。此类葡萄酿制的葡萄酒是意大利红葡萄酒中最为昂贵的品种之一，口味多样，丝一般柔滑，诱人而又令人印象深刻。巴罗洛侯爵庄园酿制的巴罗洛葡萄酒便是此诱人的红葡萄酒的最佳典范。
Flavor characteristics: Bing cherries, leather, tobacco, dried herbs and chocolate.
口味特征： 樱桃, 皮革, 烟草味，甘草和巧克力口味。

Sangiovese 杉济奥维瑟----It is Italy's most planted red wine grape, the central grape in a majority of Italian red wines most notably Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino as well as Rosso Piceno. The best of the Sangiovese are full, firm, dry and slightly spicy wines that age well. The true essence of the grape can be found in Compagnola's Rosso Piceno or the Gineprone Chianti from Col D'Orcia.
此类葡萄在意大利是种植范围最广的红葡萄品种。大部分的意大利红酒都用此种葡萄酿制，最著名的为基昂蒂,蒙塔尔奇诺布鲁诺以及比萨干红。杉济奥维瑟葡萄酒中最好的品种酒体丰满，坚实，口味干燥，略带麻辣味，适于陈年。来自坎帕尼奥拉酒园的比萨干红或来自科尔多奇亚酒园的经典基昂蒂葡萄酒中可以体会到此种葡萄的真正奥秘。
Flavor characteristics: Bitter cherries, spices, tobacco, raspberries and dried fruit
口味特征： 苦莓，麻辣的口味，烟草，木莓和干果。

Zinfandel 仙芬黛---The origin of this grape is still a mystery, Zinfandel is California's very own grape variety. The grapes can produce wines that range from pale pink and slightly sweet to serious oak aged, full-bodied wines that are rich with ripe berry and spice flavors. Most of the Zinfandel wines are ready to drink early, but the deep red wines have staying power and will age at least 10 years. So high is Zinfandels profile in California that these grapes have been planted in many other warm wine regions around the world. For something slightly sweet that is best chilled and can be enjoyed anytime Beringer's White Zinfandel fits the bill.
仙芬黛葡萄的起源还未被世人所知，其是加州自身独特的葡萄品种。此种葡萄酿制出来的葡萄酒从桃红色品种到轻淡的甜酒，直至经过橡木桶陈年，酒体丰满，富有成熟的草莓和麻辣口味的葡萄酒种类。大多数的仙芬黛在酒龄尚浅之时便可以饮取，但深红色的葡萄酒能够陈年长达10年以上。仙芬黛在加州享有的盛名使得这些葡萄也被广泛地种植于世界各地的其他温暖的葡萄酒产区。贝灵哲的白仙芬黛是同类品种典型的代表，其口味稍甜，适于冷冻，随时均可享用。
Flavor characteristics: Blackberry, spices of clove and cinnamon and freshly ground pepper
口味特征： 黑莓，丁香和肉桂的辣味，以及新鲜的辣椒味。

FINE WINES

White Grapes (白葡萄)

Chardonnay莎当妮（霞多丽)---Classic white grape, from the Burgundy region of France, now used widely throughout the world. Chardonnay is the world's most fashionable & famous grape variety. Wine makers like Chardonnay because of its wide range. It is used in Burgundy and Champagne and is capable of producing some of the world's greatest wines. Wine drinkers like Chardonnay because it has no hard edges or aggressive acidity. Columbia Crest offers a taste of one of the Pacific northwest's finest Chardonnay from Washington state.
经典的白葡萄，源于法国的勃根第地区，现在世界上广泛种植。莎当妮是世界上最为时尚且最著名的葡萄品种。酿酒师们喜爱莎当妮是因为其品种多样，用途广泛。它被广泛地应用于勃根第以及香槟地区，酿制出来的一些酒可称为是世界上最伟大的葡萄酒。饮酒的人喜爱莎当妮是由于它的口感既不干涩又没有强烈的酸味。位于华盛顿州的哥伦比亚山峰酒厂生产的莎当妮酒是太平洋西北岸口味最好的莎当妮酒之一。

口味特征： 苹果，生梨，柑橘,甜瓜，凤梨，桃子，黄油，蜂蜜，香草，苏格兰黄油，辣味。

Sauvignon Blanc 白苏维翁---The name derives from savage meaning wild, which could well describe its grassy or gooseberry flavor. Sauvignon Blanc smells & tastes remarkably similar wherever it is planted. In France its stronghold, the twin appellations of Sancerre & Pouilly-Fume, produce superior examples. Sauvignon Blanc is also widely planted in Bordeaux. In Australia fine examples have emerged from the Adelaide Hills. California produces a distinct, full bodied, often oak-aged version sometimes called Fume Blanc. Beringer's Sauvignon Blanc is not only highly rated but an award winning wine with superb California style.
此名字起源于含义为狂野的英文单词，很好地描述了其富有青草和醋莓的口味。无论种植于何处，白苏维翁的口味大多数都很相似。法国盛产地卢瓦尔山谷地区内桑榭尔和波利这两个相邻产区所酿制的白苏维翁葡萄酒便为的经典之作。白苏维翁也被广泛地种植于波尔多地区。澳大利亚的阿德雷山区酿制的白苏维翁葡萄酒也是优秀的典范。加州所酿制的同类葡萄酒口味特征明显，酒体丰满，通常在橡木桶中陈年，并称之为白弗玫。贝灵哲的白苏维翁不仅属于上乘葡萄酒且是体现最佳加州风格的获奖产品。
Flavor characteristics: Fresh cut grass, gooseberries, currant, green beans and asparagus.
口味特征： 新鲜草味, 覆盆子, 加仑, 豌豆和卢笋。

Riesling 薏丝琳(雷司令)---Riesling is the classic grape of Germany and produces wines with crisp fruit flavor. The wines can range from pale green & fragile to sharp & golden with luscious exotic flavors; from dry to sweet. Riesling thrives in the cooler climates of Australia & California. This is a wine that can be drunk quite young but also has the potential to age for many years. To understand the influences that soil and climate have over a grape compare the Rieslings from Petaluma in Australia to Chateau Ste. Michelle in Washington and taste the difference.
薏丝琳(雷司令)是德国的经典葡萄，酿制而成的葡萄酒具有清脆的水果味。薏丝琳葡萄酒具有从淡绿色、易脆直到金黄、口感尖锐，有光泽而又味道新奇的品种，口味干燥或偏甜。薏丝琳生长于澳大利亚和加州凉爽的气候中。此种葡萄酒在年份非常浅时便可饮用，但也适于珍藏多年。比较来自澳大利亚葡萄之路和华盛顿圣密夕庄园的薏丝琳葡萄酒之间的不同口味，可以清楚地感受到不同的土壤和气候条件对同一种葡萄的不同影响。

Semillon is used on its own and quite often it is blended with Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. A very good example of this grape is Ginestet AOC Bordeaux Blanc, just click on the wine label for tasting notes and pricing.
在法国，瑟美戎是波尔多最上等的白葡萄种类，同样也是用于酿制世界上许多一流的甜酒的葡萄品种，种植于几乎世界上所有的葡萄酒地区。瑟美戎经常与莎当妮或白苏维翁混合而不是其他葡萄品种。 澳大利亚葡萄之路集团下面所拥有的舍尔法末庄园所酿制的瑟美戎白葡萄酒便是令人振奋的一例。此种葡萄酒是由白苏维翁和瑟美戎葡萄混合酿制而成，口味独特。
