It’s Not A Cult-ivar

TASTING NOTES: “2020 Cultivar Bordeaux Blend from Napa Valley unfolds in the glass with a dark purple center that transitions to a ripe raspberry rim. As you raise the glass aromas of pomegranate, blackberry, plum, and cassis intertwine, accompanied by subtle notes of vanilla and a touch of nutmeg that delicately linger on the finish. The palate is a journey of flavors, where cherries and blackberries harmonize with a touch of mushroom and earthy undertones, creating a beautifully balanced profile enhanced by a hint of minerality. An opulent wine with rich, dense character. The experience extends to a long, silky finish, where the lingering notes of vanilla and nutmeg leave a lasting impression, inviting you to savor each moment.“ (AbV 14.3%)

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Cultivars.

You’re not gonna believe this, but a cultivar is a cultivated plant. Shocking, truly. But it is noteworthy for the fact that it is a plant we have manipulated so that it expresses specific traits. Well, usually we’ve manipulated it. Sometimes they also just kind of happen in the wild, like a happy accident.

All those different colors of flowers you buy from stores, most foods we purchase, and even trees for timber are grown as cultivars. Every cultivar has to be named with the scientific name followed by an epithet. So you have Malus Granny Smith and Malus Honeycrisp and Malus Beefsteak.
