The Kamoizumi Nigori Ginjo Summer Snow from Timeless Wines is unique premium sake that boasts of delicious flavors. This strong unfiltered sake is fresh and semi-sweet sake that gives elegance to the name. This Summer Snow is light and fresh, compared with very sweet and strong sakes that are crafted in the United States. Since the Kamoisumi Brewing Company sits in the region of Saijo, the region’s water source and climate lends to the flavor of this fine sake. Good quality rice is used to craft the famous sakes that come from this brewery. The founders of the Kamoisumi Brewing Company were initially rice farmers who progressed to rice milling and sake brewing. In the mid 1960’s the brewery was one of the breweries that continued with junmai sake production, although breweries all over the country abandoned the process due to monetary gain. The brewery announced its first junmai sake in the 1970’s, although some breweries removed impurities from the sake with a charcoal method. Since the Kamoisumi Brewing Company believed these components shaped the characteristic of the sake, they maintained the nature of the sake and continued to brew with traditional methods. There is no brewery in Japan that has kept its level of individuality and the sakes produced in this brewery are truly distinct. Due to the brewery’s distinct reputation, the Kamoizumi Nigori Ginjo Summer Snow is a fantastic choice of sake.

Continuum Red Blend 2017 MAGNUM is made from 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 9% Petit Verdot, 9% Merlot
2017 was a vintage of extremes, with abundant rain in the winter months and record-breaking heat waves during the growing season. A testament in resiliency, the wine bears the hallmarks of the elevation and terroir at Sage Mountain Vineyard, showcasing exquisite vibrancy, many layers of flavor, ferrous minerality and fragrant wild herb notes. 2017 Continuum shows freshness, hinting at rose petal on the nose with cacao, black cherry and plum giving way to a plush, silky mid palate. Fine tannins of crushed stone and subtle undertones of tapenade are present through a beautifully persistent finish.
Review:
Wonderful blackberry and blackcurrant aromas here with hints of mint and fresh sage. Some cassis. Wrought iron, too. Full-bodied, tight and elegant with lovely tension. Beautiful. Ends fine and focused. Drinkable now, but better after 2022. -James Suckling 98 Points
A blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 9% Petit Verdot and 9% Merlot, the deep garnet-purple 2017 Proprietary Red soars out of the glass with notions of baked blueberries, plum preserves and blackcurrant cordial, backed up by nuances of chocolate mint, wild sage, violets and pencil shavings, plus an earthy hint of Chinese five spice. The rich, seductive, full-bodied palate is jam-packed with spicy black fruit preserves, framed by wonderfully plush tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and opulent. -Wine Advocate 97+ Points
