　　　　　　　　　　　　美乐葡萄

（产地：）帕索·罗布勒斯（加利福尼亚中部小城，知名酒乡，意思是“橡树山口”。）

　　波尔多种美乐葡萄对气温非常敏感，温度的剧烈变化会导致葡萄珠串生长不均衡。不过，在帕索·罗布勒斯的坦普顿隘口，这里独特的区域小气候却令美乐葡萄茁壮生长。这里白天温暖，夜晚清凉，卡斯和春溪（可能是名称吧）葡萄园里，181号葡萄引入种被种植于石灰岩质的土壤上。

　　在酿酒厂里，葡萄发酵前，首先要经过“冷浸”处理。另外，果皮会被置于酒中数周之久。这种“延时浸软”的工艺会产生圆润幼滑的单宁（一种酚类物质）。

　　圣西门（位于帕索·罗布勒斯以西约50英里的加州海边）出品的美乐葡萄酒质感绝佳、口感丰裕，有浓郁的黑莓及黑醋栗的芬芳，兼有干果的香气，经木桶窖藏后，还会产生红糖与橡木的香味。
