不是“拉菲”，也有好酒!Good Wine from California

相信越来越多的葡萄酒爱好者，早就跨越了“只知其味美，不知其味何美”的阶段。品评葡萄酒，不仅要喝得多，还得开阔眼界，如此才能找到充盈味蕾的佳酿。

集中于法国、意大利、西班牙等“旧世界”的葡萄酒堪称经典，然而像拉菲古堡干红葡萄酒、马桑德拉雪利酒、白雪香槟“沉默之船”等国际名酒，价格不菲。更有甚者，曾听某位业内人士爆料，名庄酒产量极为有限，根本没那么多供应中国市场，可想而知市售的拉菲之流还是很有水分的。

其实，不是“拉菲”，也有好酒。近些年，南非、澳洲、新西兰、美国等地新崛起的“新世界”葡萄酒，也颇受人们关注。相对而言，只要你不是葡萄酒发
烧友，喜欢追寻顶级细微的差别，那有着稳定口感的“新世界”葡萄酒或许会是你最佳的选择。

美国葡萄酒评论家罗伯特·帕克在推特发布的2014 年葡萄酒行业预测中指出：大家对美国葡萄酒的喜爱会日益增加。这篇推文是非常有根据的，在过去
两年里伦敦国际葡萄酒交易所对精品葡萄酒市场进行了更深一步的检查。佳酿1000 指数显示两款美国商标是主要的市场推动者，即“多明纳斯”和“作品一号”。

多明纳斯酒庄隶属于莫艾克斯家族，位于全美著名的葡萄酒产区——纳帕谷（Napa Valley）。它家的干红葡萄酒属于波尔多红葡萄混酿（Bordeaux Blend）。这种混酿酒通常品质优异，具有强劲的结构和深浓的风味，单宁重，结构紧实，带有深色水果和浆果的风味（如李子、黑醋栗）。多明纳斯的葡萄酒非常浓郁，醇厚，有深度，口感非常和谐，喝完感觉令人惊叹。

如果不喜重单宁，那么纳帕谷的另一庄园“作品一号”的葡萄酒或许更适合你。“作品一号”是第一个出口到法国、英国、德国等欧洲国家的美国葡萄酒，受到许多酒评家的好评。它以优雅风格为特点，其中含有青草、黑胡椒、蓝莓、香草、檀香等芬芳，入口醇美，香气复杂、浓郁，却也富有生命力，入口感觉酸度不高，加之细致的单宁，以及黑色浆果、轻微薄荷辛辣隔阂巧克力的后韵，虽是干型酒却能带来一股甜美的感受。

品酒已然成为享受生活的重要组成部分，在体验味蕾愉悦的同时，藉由所偏爱的酒款找到自己的个性，这一追求、探索的过程，让每一个葡萄酒爱好者都欣喜若狂。美国葡萄酒作为世界葡萄酒的新势力，想必能带给你如加州阳光般的愉悦。
