2021 Kizan Winery Kizan Selection Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon

Light smoky violet color. Although this is a bordeaux blend, it tastes like a Loire blend (Gamay, Pinot, Cab Franc). Nose consists of strawberry, raspberry, paprika, and azalea flower. Palate is extremely smooth - lowish tannins with wet earthiness. The acidity is high but silky and fine - excellent texture.

2022 Sakai Winery Sauvignon Blanc Kawasemi

Short note from memory. From purchased grapes grown by Abiko family at Sagae, Yamagata. Typical unfiltered orange-esque wine. Passion fruit and yeast. Good concentration for a Japanese wine, the top, middle, and the bottom of the bottle taste different, which increases the fun. The wines from the winery’s own grapes are much more interesting though. 88-89.
