No Wine Day

 

 

Jun. 19

I took a two-days-off and went to Onsen Spa resort in Ashigara.

Because my room has Roten Bath, I almost kept taking bath all day long.

Then I felt sick because of too much heat.

1st Chateau Mercian Niitsuru Chardonnay 2014

It is made from 100% Chardonnay grown in Niitsuru, Fukushima.

It has a very elegant nuance from cask fermentation, and rich-tropical fruits.

Very good!

 

 

2nd Villa d’Est Tazawa Merlot 2012

It is an organic wine made from 100% Merlot grown in the estate single vineyard in Tazawa, Nagano.

I felt very charming red berries, elegant acidity and delicate tannin.

It has something similar nuance to north Burgundy Pinot Noir, I think.

It was very tasty, very delicious.

The total production is only 1210 bottles.

A little….
