点评:If you’re a fan of doing the whole “one of these things is not like the other” game then Modus Operandi is your kind of winery. Jason Moore is a self taught (although he is quick to credit mentors) winemaker from Dallas Texas. He is not a billionaire, he’s not operating out of a Howard Backen designed cathedral of a winery and he’s not perched atop Pritchard Hill on a perfect piece of land. What he is is a salt of the earth guy who wears every hat in his company, has cultivated relationships that allow him to source some of the absolute best fruit in Napa and Sonoma, and has used that fruit to make some of the best wines I’ve had. Jason has built MO from zero to where it is today, approximately 5,000 cases of as he puts it “too many wines”. I have recently been in a Pinot Noir phase, and as luck would have it Jason recently began making Pinot. While not his main focus, the two Pinots he shared w me (UV Laguna and Gap’s Crown) were exceptional, I am certain his other two from Silver Eagle and Bacigalupi are just as good. We then moved to his Antithesis blend which is as unique as his story, and it’s also a winner. I won’t tell the whole story, but I assure you you’ve never had a wine made like this before, and it is great. Next up were two 2019 single vineyard Cabernets, Edcora and Sage Ridge. These two wines, while being dense, powerful and rich, were also velvety smooth and elegant, light on their feet so to speak. Jason shared 5 wines with us and I would absolutely buy every single one. I don’t join wine clubs, I joined this one. Do yourself a favor and book a tasting, you won’t be disappointed.
翻译:如果你喜欢玩“其中一个与另一个不同”游戏,那么 Modus Operandi 就是你喜欢的酒庄。贾森·摩尔 (Jason Moore) 是一位来自德克萨斯州达拉斯市的自学成才(尽管他很快就信任导师)的酿酒师。他不是亿万富翁,他不是在霍华德·巴肯设计的大教堂式酿酒厂里经营,他也不是栖息在普里查德山顶上一块完美的土地上。他是一位地球中的中坚人物,在公司中身兼数职,建立了良好的关系,使他能够在纳帕和索诺玛采购一些绝对最好的水果,并用这些水果酿造了一些我认为最好的葡萄酒。 '已经有。 Jason 已将 MO 从零发展到如今的规模,大约有 5,000 箱,正如他所说,“葡萄酒太多了”。我最近正处于黑皮诺阶段,幸运的是杰森最近开始酿造黑皮诺。虽然不是他的主要关注点,但他与我分享的两种黑皮诺(UV Laguna 和 Gap’s Crown)非常出色,我确信他来自 Silver Eagle 和 Bacigalupi 的另外两种也同样出色。然后我们转向他的对立混合,它和他的故事一样独特,而且也是一个胜利者。我不会告诉你整个故事,但我向你保证你以前从未喝过这样的葡萄酒,而且它很棒。接下来是两款 2019 年单一葡萄园赤霞珠:Edcora 和 Sage Ridge。这两款酒虽然浓郁、强劲、丰富,但也柔滑、优雅,可以说是轻盈的。 Jason 与我们分享了 5 款葡萄酒,我绝对会买每一款。我不加入葡萄酒俱乐部,我加入了这个俱乐部。帮自己一个忙,预订一次品尝,您不会失望的。
