2011 Meyer Family Vineyards McLean Creek Chardonnay

The 2010 vintage of this wine won many fans in Japan and now the 2011 vintage has been named the #1 Chardonnay in Canada. If you can get hold of some of both vintages you'll have a great time deciding your preference. You'll be sure to love this very Burgundian style of food-friendly Chardonnay with rich fruit, subtle use of new oak, bright natural acidity and fresh minerality followed by a long lingering finish of peach and hazelnuts. A creamier texture than the 2010 but which is better is up to you!

自家畑“オールド・メイン・ロード・ヴィンヤード”はナラマタベンチ北向き斜面にあり、葡萄がゆっくり熟すことから、酸とミネラリティが保たれるとともに、より重層的で複雑な果実由来風味が加わります。樹齢１５年のシャルドネから造られたこのワインは、爽やかな酸が、林檎、花梨、バニラといった甘やかなフレーバーとローストした樽のアロマをまとい、ボディは厚めながらも非常にマイルドでエレガントなバランスに仕上がっています。２０１０年ヴィンテージがカナダのベスト・シャルドネに選ばれて人気急上昇中！相性料理は、クリームソースを使ったシーフード、パスタ、ポーク。

2011 Meyer Family Vineyards Tribute Series Chardonnay

This wine comes from 15 year-old vines on the Naramata Bench where the northerly aspect of the vineyard causes the vines to ripen slowly and produce complex flavours with good levels of acidity and minerality. A little more toasted oak aromas with flavours of apple, pear and vanilla with a full round palate with leesy-fullness. The 2010 vintage was the #1 Chardonnay in Canada and we're sure you'll enjoy the 2011.

カナダ最大の読者数を誇るワイン誌“ザ・カナディアン・ワイン・アクセス"主催のカナダワインコンクール、“ザ・カナディアン・ワイン・アワーズ"で2012年ゴールドメダル受賞!

最適条件で生み出されたクール・クライメット・ピノ・ノワールの見本ともいえるこのワインは、ダークチェリー、プラムなど黒系果実の豊潤さとそれを引き締める酸のバランスが絶妙。濃厚な色調を裏切らない凝縮感と長熟を予感させる骨格を兼ね備え、若干の土っぽさや動物的ニュアンスをも感じさせる複雑で奥行の深い味わいと余韻の長さが、ブルゴーニュのコート・ド・ニュイに想いを馳せさせてくれる逸品です。その数わずか2,016本。。。

2010 Meyer Family Vineyards McLean Creek Pinot Noir

This Gold Medal winning wine (2012 Canadian Wine Awards) is the type of Pinot Noir that you'd love to keep for a few years to see how much it could develop...but with little chance of that happening as it is so delicious now. It will take you several minutes to pick out all the red fruits in the nose that's still quite closed, and the mouth-feel is full-bodied without being overbearing, and the finish is long and totally satisfying. These vines were planted in 1994 in small plots and the fact that only 2,016 bottles were produced shows how carefully they selected of the finest grapes. 25% of the grapes were left as whole clusters and 33% of the French oak barrels used for ageing were new. Optimum cool-climate Pinot Noir with ripe fruit balanced with acidity and moderate alcohol levels....think Cote de Nuits rather than Sonoma.

- After post maceration period and a gentle pressing, transferred to 100% French oak barrels (33% new)
where it remained for 10 months

「ブルゴーニュ一級畑に勝るとも劣らない」とリピーターの多かった２０１０年ヴィンテージ。２０１１年ヴィンテージにも引き継がれた、その複雑で奥行きの深い味わいは、テロワールの異なる３区画の畑で育てられた５種類のクローンを別々に仕込み、ブレンドすることで生まれたものです。フルボディだった２０１０年に比して軽快、よりエレガントで女性的。ラズベリー、レッドカラントなど赤系果実主体のアロマに、スパイスやハーブのニュアンスが加わり、通奏される土っぽさ、ミネラル感、オークのスモーキーさが味わいに深みを与えています。貴方のお好みはどちらでしょう？両ヴィンテージともワイナリーでは完売ですので、比較試飲できるのは日本だけかもしれません！

2011 McLean Creek Pinot Noir

The 2010 vintage was a great hit in Japan and this perennial Gold medal winner is bound to make many new friends with its 2011 vintage. Its complexity comes from a blend of five different clones grown in three separate blocks, each with a different aspect therefore different sun exposure. The resulting wine is a full-bodied but elegant Pinot Noir, with flavours of cherries and plums on a lovely round palate with a long balanced finish. Which do you prefer, the 2010 or the 2011? Already sold out at the winery so they can only be bought in Japan!

“マックリーン・クリーク”から真北に７０ｋｍ、ケロウナにある契約畑“ライマー・エステイト・ヴィンヤード”の葡萄から造られたワインで、両畑ともクローンは同じポマール系とディジョン系、仕込みも同一、異なるのは畑のテロワールといえるでしょう。マックリーン・クリーク　ピノ同様の美しい酸があり複雑さも拮抗しますが、ライマー ピノの方がふくよかで円やか。果実味はより濃厚でジャミー、チョコレートのような甘さがほのかに漂い、オープンで親しみやすい懐の広さも感じさせます。両畑のテロワールの違いをぜひ比べてください！

2011 Reimer Pinot Noir

The fruit for this wine is sourced from the Reimer Estate Vineyard in South-East Kelowna about 70 kilometres due north of McLean Creek. A blend of the same Pommard & Dijon clones and with the same patient wine-making technique the differences between these wines come only from the different terroirs. While the Reimer sometimes tends to bolder, somewhat fuller flavours you'll have a lot of fun tasting them together and deciding which you prefer. Already sold out at the winery so they can only be bought in Japan!
