Taste Grapes Before Harvest - Checks Maturity of Merlot

Posted by admin on October 21, 2008 under merlot

http://www.ovineyards.com/public_html/blog/blog.html

So I know this is really late, but this is a video about tasting grapes. It was almost harvest time at O’Vineyards when I filmed this so we were tasting the grapes hoping that they’d be sweet and mature enough to send to the lab for some official results.

The video gives some wine maker insights from Ryan O’Connell into the complicated task of eating and tasting a grape. Okay, so it’s pretty simple, but there’s a video for you anyway.

It turns out that the Merlot is in fact ready for lab analysis and the ICV lab returned something like 14.4 potential sugar so we were ready to harvest that Merlot.

If you want to see a cool explanation of refractometers you should check out this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhnZETxe1jk

Wine Tasting 30: 2002 Talomas Shiraz Cabernet fm. California

Posted by admin on September 24, 2008 under cabernet

Talomas and Kiraala were joint projects between Robert Mondavi of the USA and Rosemount of Australia before they scraped the project when Mondavi was sold to Constellation Brands in 2004. The remaining stocks were sold off quietly and I, liked the rest of the wine vultures in Vancouver, managed to get a case of the 2002 Syrah/Cab (as well as their Chardonnay/Viognier and Cab/Merlot). Good creamy blackcurrant cassis with cola were detected from the glass. Upon tasting, upfront and vibrant black currant, wild blackberry fruit emerged followed by spices and black pepper. The wine has good acidity and good backbone. This wine was reduced by the importer from $25 to $9 when the Talomas/Kiraala project was terminated. Definitely one of the biggest BARGAIN in my wine buying history! Drink it up in the next 2 to 3 years. (Rating 89-91 points) by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.
