Kronos vineayard
Kronos Vineyard is one of the last old Cabernet vineyards in the Napa Valley. Planted in 1971 on St. George rootstock, which is completely resistant to Phylloxera, the gnarly, wise old ladies are almost 50 years old! Yields are pitifully low at 1.25 tons/acre, but the singular wine it produces proves it to be one of the great Cabernet vineyards of the world. Cathy considers it a gift to have the opportunity to work with these old vines because they yield concentrated, complex, inky, structured, aromatic wines at very moderate alcohols. Farmed sustainably from the beginning, these deep-rooted veterans sail through any weather.
요약: 수령 50년 이상의 올드바인에서 (수확량은 적지만) 좋은 포도를 수확함

Winemaking
Cathy has long known that she can’t make a wine any better than the grapes that come into the winery at harvest, so all year she spends much of her time and energy out in the vineyards.
Cabernet Sauvignon makes powerful wine no matter where, or how, it grows. For Cathy, it is much more interesting at the intersection of power and elegance, seeming opposites. Careful canopy management, requiring meticulous handwork throughout the growing season, yields fully ripe fruit that retains snappy natural acidity at moderate sugars. Ample, velvety tannins give the wines gentle grip and, combined with good acidity, allow the wines to grace the table and enjoy remarkable longevity. Great grapes make great wine. Cathy’s winemaking is largely non-interventionist, with gentleness at every step. Everything she does is geared toward getting all the goodness out of the grapes and leaving anything undesirable behind. When fermentation is complete, the wines go down to small French oak barrels to spend the next 20 months undergoing the magical alchemy that is wine aging.
요약

좋은 포도가 좋은 와인을 만든다.
파워풀한 품종인 카베르네 소비뇽으로 파워풀하면서 우아한 와인을 만들어보자.
개입은 최소화, 20개월 프렌치 오크 숙성


민아네 와인한상에 가져가서 여러 분들과 함께 나눠 마셔보았습니다.

현지가격 100불이 넘는 나파캡은 처음이라 기대가 만빵(와린이)

상태 체크를 위해 보틀 오픈 후 조금 따라서 향을 맡는데... 망했구나 싶었습니다.

향이 좋긴 했는데 저가 나파캡에서 나는 향 (플럼, 바닐라)이 지배적으로 나서 ㅎㅎ
마음을 가다듬고 입안에 한모금 머금었는데....!! 산도가 산도가 이렇게 좋을수가 없습니다.

산도가 높은데도 찌르지 않고 새콤새콤!! 침이 줄줄!!

바디는 미디엄-풀바디 중간정도...

스월링 후 다시 향을 맡아보는데...

와...

처음에 느꼈던 전형적인(저가의) 나파캡에서 나던 향들은 뒤로 물러나서 약하게 느껴지고

바이올렛, 라벤더, 레드체리, 감초 등의 향이 너무 좋았습니다.

여태 마셔봤던 나파캡은 물론, 보르도에서도 느껴보진 못한 향과 팔렛...

그래도 나름 높은 가격대의 나파 레드 (덕혼 메를로, 안티카 CS, Beaulieu Vineyard Reserve Tapestry, 스택스립 등등)도 마셔봤지만

이 와인 정말 다르더군요...

솔직히 블라인드로 마시면 처음 오픈했을때의 향을 빼면 나파 캡은 커녕, 카베르네 소비뇽 콜도 못할거 같은 느낌입니다.

오히려 론 쪽의 그르나슈나 시라 베이스의 무언가로 느껴질법한.... 그만큼 퍼퓨미한 와인이었습니다.

맑으면서도 진한 느낌이 너무 매력적이에요...

2017빈이라 어린 느낌이 많이 나면서도, 탄닌 컨트롤이 잘 되서 정말 부담없이 마실 수 있었구요.

다른 고가의 나파캡을 마셔보지 못해서 속단할 수는 없지만

한상님 말씀으로는 이런 스타일의 와인은 거의 없다고 하시더라구요.

다들 기회되시면 직구하셔서라도 드셔보셨으면 하는 마음에 시음기 남겼습니다.

감사합니다.
