Wonderful tasting of excellent "Slow Wines". A genuine experience.
HillCrest Winery and Distillery的点评
点评:Hillcrest was on our short list of wineries to visit during our stay in Roseburg. It will be our top choice if/when we return.
WINES: 5.0. We did a tasting of 5 red wines. All were excellent, with several unique stand-outs. In addition to wines produced from Hillcrest Vineyard varietals, the tasting included a Catalan blend "Lo Americano" from a Hillcrest partner near Barcelona, with the blending done by the Hillcrest vintner. Also particularly enjoyed "Anonymous" -- blended to resemble a top Hungarian wine (and marked by a historically rich name), and "The Pig".
SERVICE: 5.0. Wonderful conversation with one of the owners during our tasting, covering a range of subjects related (sometimes distantly) to wine. A genuine experience.
AMBIANCE: 4.5. An historic Oregon winery, Hillcrest has a rustic patina with lovingly hand-tendered dry-farmed vines. Apparently one of the very few US wineries with a "Slow Wine" designation. Focus is on offering excellent wines in an ambiance resembling comfortably broken-in handmade leather shoes. Refreshingly unflashy tasting room.
翻译:在我们逗留罗斯堡期间,希尔克雷斯特 (Hillcrest) 就在我们要参观的酒庄名单上。如果/当我们返回时,这将是我们的首选。
葡萄酒:5.0。我们品尝了 5 种红酒。一切都很棒,有几个独特的亮点。除了使用 Hillcrest 葡萄园葡萄品种生产的葡萄酒外,品尝会还包括来自巴塞罗那附近 Hillcrest 合作伙伴的加泰罗尼亚混酿“Lo Americano”,由 Hillcrest 葡萄酒商进行调配。还特别喜欢“Anonymous”——混合成类似于顶级匈牙利葡萄酒(并以历史悠久的名字为标志)和“The Pig”。
服务:5.0。在我们品尝期间与其中一位业主进行了精彩的对话,涵盖了与葡萄酒相关(有时是遥远的)的一系列主题。真正的体验。
氛围:4.5。 Hillcrest 是一家历史悠久的俄勒冈酒厂,拥有质朴的古铜色和精心手工嫩化的旱作葡萄藤。显然是美国为数不多的拥有“慢酒”称号的酒庄之一。专注于在类似于舒适的磨合手工皮鞋的氛围中提供优质葡萄酒。清新朴素的品酒室。
