I have learned recently that Aussie winemakers are allowed to add sugars after a wine has fermented to dry and your tasting confirms that! Thanks Vince!
@visforvino10 ай бұрын
For sure. Also, other people have noted that we definitely could have picked a better wine! I think this one was a big on the cheaper side.

That was impressive .. still hitting on the Cab Sav even those this Australian expression is widely different from what one would find in CA or even French wines of that grape. It seems to me Australian Cabs are pretty rare, so, that was an added twist. Now, one thing to note: Amarone is not a grape but rather a wine usually made from 3 grapes from a northeastern region of Italy.
@visforvino10 ай бұрын
Thanks! Yes, that's my fault. CMS lists it as "Corvina based blends" but since that's wordy on screen and I'm fairly certain most people don't know Corvina, I put Amarone to simplify.

This was great. The oak (or probably chips) sounded American so in a toss-up between Lodi and Australia I went to Australia. That said I wasn´t sure with plum whether they might have blended some Shiraz. No pepper but cheap wines often aren´t that varietal anyway.

I don’t really think so personally. I associate Sancerre with its screaming acidity and minerality. Sometimes you get the “cat piss” note which maybe if what you’re referring to, but I think that’s more NZ SB typically.
@newyorksbeerreviews128010 ай бұрын
@@visforvinoI actually understand your “cat piss” reference. I’ve had Sauvignon Blanc from Trentino-Alto Adige ( Elena Walch, not sure if you’re familiar )and it’s very tropical and grapefruit forward. I don’t get to drink Sancerre much and yea I agree with you, minerality and ripe lime, under ripe grapefruit, crushed river rocks. I think somehow I got that confused on my blind tasting Haha. I do prefer the Elena Walch SB to be honest though. Oh and the blind tasting wasn’t for an exam. Just for fun :)

Sangiovese and Tempernillo are both grown in Sonoma and Napa Counties and wines are made from them. So, no, these varietals are not only Old World.
@visforvino10 ай бұрын
Of course they are. There’s all sorts of grapes grown everywhere. You can also find Nebbiolo in Mexico. But when working within the guidelines of CMS or WSET you are only tested on the typical historical grapes grown in their regions.

I just wonder why you restrict yourself to single grapes in the elimination (apart from GSM), as a lot of wines are blends. But fun to watch how you rule out the options. And bravo, because red big wines from the new world are often hard to guess.
@visforvino10 ай бұрын
Thanks! So we actually go off the CMS advanced wines, so people who are studying for exams can learn. That being said, I think Grenache also includes GSM and Cab and Merlot includes BDX blends.
