1st Says Farm Rose 2021

Says Farm is a very poplar winery in Toyama, whose wines are difficult to find.

This rose is made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grown in the estate vineyard in Himi.

I felt charming-fresh berries, beautiful acidity and fine minerals.

It was so tasty. The taste was very pure and natural.

I understand why the winery is so popular.

 

 

2nd Kobe Wine Sakura Quartet 2020

It is made from 52% Yama Sauvignon, 18% Syrah, 18% Mourvedre and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon grown in Kobe.

The wine was matured in the cherry (sakura) cask.

Well, I felt a cherry flavor…. No, I didn’t feel it.

I felt fresh red fruits, clear-sharp acidity and elegant tannins.

When you hear the grape name of Syrah – Mourvedre, you may think it is full-bodied red wine.

However, it is a charming-elegant red wine.

It is a very delicious red wine.

Kobe Wine produces such unique wine, too.
