Gin no Sei (Sake)
Filter
Gin no Sei is a rice type that is used to create sake wine. Many different brands feature the Gin No Sei rice variety and it is used in a handful of various sake wines. The sakes that use the Gin No Sei rice variety are typically crafted in the Akita prefecture. Since the methods of sake brewing are ever-changing, these changes have allowed sake to be produced in new ways, thus increasing the quality of sake. Although the Timeless Wines Koshiki Junzukuri wine sticks to the label of brewing sake the old fashioned way, many breweries are choosing to adapt to new methods. The Akitabare brewery crafts sakes the old fashioned way and their sakes typically cater to sake lovers and experienced wine drinkers. These wines are aromatic and have a very unique taste, since they have been crafted according to tradition. The Amanoto wine from the Asamai Shuzo brewery also is brewed in the Akita prefecture, along with Dewatsuru Sakura Emaki, Manabito, Yuki no Bosha, and Beni Mansaku sake wines. Each one of these sake wines has a unique and distinct taste due to different brewing methods, but the wines have been crafted from the Gin no Sei rice type.

Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port.
Impressive purple-black core with a narrow purple rim. An intense burst of powerful woodland fruit, a dense coulis blackberry and blackcurrant, almost overwhelms the nose. The black fruit aromas are infused with discreet notes of cherry and mocha. As would be expected of Taylor’s, the fruit is very fine and focused, but the year seems to have given it an additional layer of density and weight. A familiar veil of violet scent hangs over the wine, together with a fragrance of rose petal and wild, minty herbal aromas.
On the palate, the wine has beautifully ripe tannins, which integrate perfectly into the mid-palate, providing both structure and volume, and then break out on the finish with a firm wiry, grip. The palate closes with a powerful tide of fresh, complex fruit flowing endlessly through the finish. In the 2018, the Taylor traits of fine fruit and inner power combine seamlessly with the ripeness and depth typical of the vintage.
Review:
This is an exceptional vintage, most unusually the third declared in a row from this producer. Intensely perfumed and richly structured with dark black fruits and concentrated tannins, it is set for seriously long-term aging. The power of the wine, based around the producer's Quinta da Vargellas, is magnificent. Drink this major Port from 2029.

Hailing from 1937, these certified organic vines are some of the most unique we’ve ever seen. Just a mile and a half from the Napa border on the Sonoma side of the Mayacamas, located in what is the new Moon Mountain AVA, the vines are planted along steep, contoured terraces. Finding old vineyards is rare enough, but ancient hillside head-trained vines located 1000 feet up? Downright extraordinary.
Review:
"The 2022 Zinfandel Fredericks Vineyard is medium to deep ruby in the glass. It opens slowly but steadily with multifaceted aromas of peach skin, dried red berries, dark spices, wafts of cooling botanicals and a lifted, vibrant floral perfume. The full-bodied palate is suave, concentrated and polished, hiding rustic but gentle tannins and seamless, mineral-tinged acidity with its long, perfumed finish. As with much of the 2022 Turley Zinfandels, this should unwind and come into itself after 3-5 years in bottle and provide more than a decade of enjoyment in the cellar."
