Dewasansan (Sake)
Filter
Unlike wine grapes, it is not as easy to taste the difference between rice strains that are used to produce sake. There are several types of rice used to produce sake with each variety yielding a specific flavor profile. Dewasansan rice is different from its genetic parent Omachi, or the most popular sake rice, Yamada Nishiki. Dewasansan makes three junmai ginjos that are similar in style. These vary only because of the rice. Dewasansan is one of the most creative sake breweries in Japan and has been around for more than a century. Intensely floral, some Dewasansan feature aromas of pencil lead, paint and steel, and although that does not sound very appetizing, the complexity of the blend is the strength. On the palate, you will get a flowery taste at first that evolves into golden apple, graphite, yellow plum, and pear. The finish that results is creamy and smooth with a soft landing after an intensely wild ride. Dewasansan stands up to most meat dishes, especially grilled chicken and roasted pork. It is also excellent with flavorful fish like salmon and mackerel. Try Dewasansan as an alternative to choucroute or Alsatian white wine. Wine lovers will find the texture of Dewasansan similar to white wine as it retains the richness of the sake.

Enemigo El Enemigo Gran Enemigo is made from 100% Cabernet Franc.
In the spectrum of people who pay attention to detail, winemakers are often incredibly detail-oriented. This can sometimes spill over to become an internal battled, and, as Alejandro Vigil and Adrianna Catena state, "We are our own worst enemy." El Enemigo pays homage to this internal struggle.
The nose presents sweet aromas of black ripen fruits with hints of vanilla and chocolate, which appear after the oak ageing. The mouthfeel is sweet with structured, persistent tannins due to the natural acidity of this wine, leading into an excellent long finish.
Review:
The nose of the 2018 Gran Enemigo El Cepillo Single Vineyard, from a low-yielding and drier year, is full of curry, a note that was a constant across the three vintages I tasted together, but it tends to be stronger in low-yielding and dry years like this. It's also floral and comes through as aromatic and a little exotic, in a good way, with elegance, persistence and very pure flavors. It has fine-grained tannins, great acidity and balance. 7,200 bottles. All these single-vineyard bottlings mature in ancient 4,000-liter oak foudres for some 15 months.
-Wine Advocate 97 Points"Pretty and inviting on the nose with gorgeous aromas of floral violet, cassis and completed with a lifted, delicate liquorice note. The palate is graced with deep herb, pepper, crunchy red fruit and graceful, silky tannins."

Boussey Aloxe Corton Les Valozieres is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
The Aloxe Corton appellation is located right between the Cotes de Nuits and Cotes de Beaune, at the bottom of the Hill of Corton. The old vines planted in the village of "Valozieres" enjoy a perfect location and a specific terroir made of red/brown colored soils with a few silica veins and silex, limestone components, leading to solid and structured wines.
The wine displays a dark ruby and garnet color. The aromas are classic of the appellation with small red fruits, developping peony, jasmine, leather, truffle aromas with age. A firm structure, rich and chewy tannins, and a great length.
