1st Suntory Japan Premium Tsugaru Pinot Noir Blanc de Noir 2014

This Japan white wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir grown in Aomori (Tsugaru).

I felt very rich fruits, fine acidity and comfortable minerals.

It’s a very nice Blanc de Noir.

 

 

 

2nd Kizan Family Reserve 2014   1850 yen

It is made from 50% Merlot, 30% Black Queen, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot grown in Yamanashi.

At first, I felt a little reductive smell but it soon disappeared.

Then I felt very fine red berries, beautiful acidity and nice minerals.

Kizan Winery always produce only very fine wines.

I can’t believe this fine wine with less than 2000 yen.

Is it a joke?
