美國加洲明星酒園的Caymus家族的Chuck Wagner 1988年起在Santa Lucia Highlands 開始種植葡萄- 面對加州中海岸(Central Coast)的此園-燦爛陽光海洋-所以取了個法國名字"Mer Soleil"-開始釀造Chardonnay-
命名是以大自然的兩股勢力 : 海(MER)和太陽(Soleil) 對葡萄酒質的產生的重大影響
這是原BF改標後的『太陽海』-被喻為美國Chardonnay三劍客之首(Mer Soleil, Shafer ,Beringer Private Reserve)
Fermented and Aged in French Oak barrels--Tropical fruit flavors with hints of Butter and Toasted Almond. Mer Soleil Chardonnay Reserve 在法國橡木桶陳釀-表現出加州Chardonnay的成熟風範,是一款典型高端加州Chardonnay。
馥鬱的水果口感-恰到好處的酸度平衡到最佳的狀態,豐盈的口感在後味當中形成厚重的複雜度,猶如雕琢過的悠長餘味體現出Mer Soleil背後釀酒師的特別用心
此酒口感濃郁,堪稱新式加州經典Chardonnay。杏、蘋果、香蕉、熱帶鳳梨等醇熟水果的芳香和奶油糖果的味道隨著陳年而更顯馥鬱。此款奢華佳釀散發出黃油及奶油的芬芳,伴有淡淡的橡木香氣。迷人的回味,讓人回憶起檸檬奶油派。
經過多年的發展已經成為Caymus廠牌下的明星葡萄園。光是Chardonnay,他們就開發了三個不同的系列,釀酒師Charlie Wagner II成功的在公眾面前展示了他釀造Chardonnay的功力。

Winemaker Notes: Golden and sun-kissed, the 2013 vintage opens up with evocativescents of lemon and peach, layered with the subtle toasted notes of freshly baked bread. The palate is full and fresh, with ripe flavors of fruit blossoms and a hint of mango balanced by natural,vibrant acidity. Medium to full-bodied, the wine has a finish that is lengthy but never heavy, its mix of oak, butter and fruit characteristics blending seamlessly and leaving a harmonious,lingering impression.
