다음은 Vintage Reserve (VR)에 대한 생산자의
설명이다.
[Vintage Reserve is a
Bundschu family tradition that began
in 1981.
Every vintage since, we have crafted
a limited bottling from the most
elegant and expressive barrels. The
2010 vintage release marked the 30th
release of VR. And we've just been
getting better. The 2009 VR was
rated 94 points (and picked as a
"Cellar Selection") by Wine
Enthusiast and the 2010 VR received
94 points from Robert Parker. We
think these wines represent the very
highest quality Sonoma Valley has to
offer.
Only the very highest
quality grapes ever have a chance at
making it into a Vintage Reserve
barrel.
The grapes are meticulously sorted
using state of the art equipment --
you can feel the excitement on the
days of harvest when the optical
sorter is on the crushpad. There's
no doubt -- something special is
happening. With the aid of the
sorter our winemaking team selects
only the finest grapes, those of the
desired shape, color and size, to be
pressed and fermented as potential
Vintage Reserve.
It doesn't stop when the wine goes
into barrel.
From these barrels, winemakers Keith
Emerson and Anne Dempsey select the
very best ones to create the blend
worthy of the Vintage Reserve label.]
