Question

美国有哪些主要的葡萄酒产区？最好的是哪里？美国生产的顶级葡萄酒有哪些？

Answer 1

　　美国葡萄酒产区实行AVA认定制度，其含义基本上是效仿了欧洲的产区制度。如果酒标上标有某个AVA名字，那么酿酒用的葡萄至少有85%必须来自这个地区。
　　美国有4个主要的葡萄酒大产区：
　　1、华盛顿州，主要白葡萄酒品种有：霞多丽、长相思、雷司令、琼瑶浆，主要的红葡萄酒品种有：赤霞珠、梅乐、西拉（即色拉子）。华盛顿州的主要AVA葡萄酒产区有：雅吉瓦河谷、哥伦比亚峡谷、哥伦比亚河谷、沃拉沃拉河谷、霍斯黑文山等。
　　2、俄勒冈州，主要葡萄品种有：黑品诺、灰品诺、霞多丽。主要AVA产区有：维拉米特河谷、乌姆普跨河谷、柔格河谷、阿普盖特河谷。
　　3、纽约州，种植本土品种、欧洲品种、法美混合杂交品种。最著名和最悠久的AVA产区是哈德逊河谷。
　　4、加州，分为北部沿海、中北部沿海、中南部沿海、圣华金河谷4片产区。加州葡萄酒在美国的销售额占全美销售额的一大半。
　　加州无疑是全美最重要的葡萄酒产地，最好和最著名的产区，就是加州北部沿海的的纳帕河谷了，纳帕河谷被称为红葡萄酒的“国度”，赤霞珠是主产品种，其次是梅乐，产自纳帕河谷的酒，基本没有便宜或。其它的重要产区还有：南加州的圣芭芭拉（主产黑品诺）、加州北部沿海的索诺玛（主产黑品诺）。此外，华盛顿州的哥伦比亚河谷，也是著名的产区，华盛顿95%的葡萄酒产自此地。
　　美国的顶级葡萄酒多数集中在加州，最顶级的葡萄酒，就要数加州的 Opus One（即著名的作品一号），其它值得收藏的佳酿还有：Araujo、Colgin Cellars、Harlan Estate、Bryant Family、Dalla Valle等。

Answer 2

美国的葡萄酒产区基本集中在California（加州)产区，此外还有Oregon（俄勒冈州）产区以及Washington（华盛顿州）产区等。
California位於美国西南部、太平洋东海岸的狭长地带，四周为山脉，中央为谷地，具有夏干、冬湿的独特气候类型，被称为是“葡萄酒的桃花园”。根据品种区域化和土壤气候条件，将加州划分为5个各具特色的葡萄产区，从南往北依次为：（1）Coachella（考施拉)产区，占加州葡萄总面积的2%；（2）Monterey（蒙特瑞）产区，占加州葡萄总面积的9%；（3）Fresno（弗瑞斯诺）产区，是加州最大的葡萄产区，加州葡萄70%集中在该地区；（4）Lodi（洛蒂）产区，占6%；（5）Napa（纳帕）产区，占13%，由老龄的葡萄籐所出产的葡萄酿出的Zinfandel（仙粉黛）更是那里的代表。有10多个大、中型葡萄酒厂和数以百计的葡萄酒庄。其中最经典的是Napa Valley（纳帕谷）
Napa Valley（纳帕谷）是美国北加州旧金山湾北边的一个郡,拥有众多世界顶级名庄，酒区也不算太大，再加上美国国内的庞大消费市场，令该区的酒几乎没有一个是便宜的。Napa Valley的酒庄，已经成为北加州的观光重点，大小酒庄不下二百家，几乎所有酒庄都提供试饮，旅馆、餐厅林立，大部分的旅馆都可供应完备的旅游信息。Napa Valley每年有超过五百万人前来观光，被称为葡萄酒爱好者的Disneyland。

Answer 5

10 Top Vineyards and Bottles

Monte Rosso Vineyard One of California's oldest vineyards, Sonoma County's Monte Rosso is known for firm Cabernet Sauvignons as well as intense, old-vine Zinfandels. First planted in 1880 and owned for decades by the Martini family, it now belongs to Gallo. TOP BOTTLE 2002 Ravenswood Monte Rosso Zinfandel ($32) This blackberry-rich Zinfandel shows clearly why Monte Rosso deserves its fame.

Seven Springs Vineyard A benchmark for Oregon Pinot Noir, this Willamette Valley vineyard was cut in half after a legal settlement in 2001 (the lower part is now the Anden Vineyard). But its quality is undiminished, and producers such as Bethel Heights, Patricia Green Cellars, Evesham Wood and St. Innocent all take advantage of it. TOP BOTTLE 2003 St. Innocent Seven Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir ($32) Velvety black raspberry fruit plays against floral and herbal notes in this elegant Pinot.

Seven Hills Vineyard Now one of Washington State's best-known vineyards, Seven Hills was once an alfalfa farm—until its owners decided that grapes might be a better idea. Top producers like Andrew Will, Pepper Bridge, Amavi and Januik are happy they did. TOP BOTTLE 2003 L'Ecole No. 41 Seven Hills Vineyard Estate Syrah ($37) This chewy Syrah pairs firm tannins with spiced-plum richness.

Hirsch Vineyard David Hirsch's Sonoma coast vineyard perches on a ridge above the Pacific, where the cool winds help it grow some of California's greatest Pinot Noir. Producers include cult names such as Littorai and Kistler; Hirsch also makes his own eponymous bottling. TOP BOTTLE 2003 Siduri Hirsch Vineyard Pinot Noir ($45) Silky Pinot, filled with seductive, sweet cherry flavor that lasts and lasts.

To Kalon Vineyard First planted in 1868 by Napa viticulture pioneer H.W. Crabb and christened with a Greek name meaning "highest beauty," To Kalon is one of Napa's most storied vineyards. TOP BOTTLE 2002 Paul Hobbs Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon ($265) Star winemaker Hobbs fashions this extraordinary Cabernet from fruit harvested in the section of To Kalon owned by grower Andy Beckstoffer. Velvety and powerful, it's loaded with luscious black currant flavor.

Peay Vineyard Some of the fruit from this up-and-coming star in the far-northwestern corner of the Sonoma coast goes to top names like Williams Selyem and Ryan; the Peays keep the rest for their own label. TOP BOTTLE 2002 Renard Peay Vineyard Syrah ($35) This powerful, dense Syrah from winemaker Bayard Fox offers wild notes of roasted meat and black pepper.

Bien Nacido Vineyard A vast property in California's Santa Maria Valley, Bien Nacido supplies lush Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and other varieties to more than 40 producers, including Ojai, Qupé, Au Bon Climat and Testarossa. TOP BOTTLE 2003 Longoria Santa Maria Valley Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir ($42) Winemaker Richard Longoria sources this coolly herbal Pinot full of red cherry flavor from some of Bien Nacido's oldest vines.

Star Selections

2004 Selene Hyde Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc ($26) The Hyde family's Carneros land is farmed sustainably, without fertilizers or herbicides. Selene winemaker Mia Klein uses its fruit for her sultry, melon-tinged Sauvignon Blanc.

2004 Patz & Hall Durrell Vineyard Chardonnay ($42) An ancient streambed runs through Sonoma County's stony Durrell Vineyard, which produces rich Chardonnays and imposing Syrahs. This Patz & Hall wine is suitably impressive, with deep pear flavors.

2003 Rochioli Estate Grown Pinot Noir ($47) The Rochioli vineyard is the Russian River Valley Pinot Noir benchmark. Wines from Williams Selyem, Gary Farrell and Davis Bynum carry its name, along with Rochioli's own raspberry-and-spice estate bottling.
