James Suckling 89 Points:
"Grape, cherry-stone and slightly savory character. Medium-bodied with simple but quite refreshing, authentic fruit and enough acidity to cleanse the palate before the dry finish. Cabernet sauvignon. Drink now." --Tasted on Nov 18, 2020

西鴿酒莊成立於2017年,是中國最令人興奮的新興葡萄酒項目之一。西鴿酒莊是一個全新的、現代化的釀酒廠,擁有超過1300公頃的葡萄園,其中有1000多公頃都種植著擁有20年成熟期的葡萄藤。這鞏固了他們的快速成功,成為中國同行中領先的優質葡萄酒品牌之一。西鴿酒莊由張言志擔任首席釀酒師創立,他曾是張裕酒業的釀酒師。與他一起的是克里斯泰爾·舒涅(Christelle Chene),她出生於勃艮第,曾在中國擔任出口銷售總監,並致力於向全世界推廣寧夏葡萄酒以及中國葡萄酒。

西鴿酒莊的葡萄酒在國際上引起了關注,中國國家主席習近平在會見4月訪華的法國總統馬克龍時,選擇了西鴿赤霞珠與蛇龍珠混釀的葡萄酒。在此之前,西鴿酒莊也已經在國際葡萄酒界佔據了一席之地,當時酒莊向英國出口了價值12.4萬英鎊的一批葡萄酒,打破了寧夏單批葡萄酒出口價值最高的記錄。

James Suckling 給予89分評價:
葡萄、櫻桃核和略帶鹹味的特點。中等酒體,具有簡單但相當清新、真實的水果味,足夠的酸度可以在乾燥的收尾前清潔口感。這是一款赤霞珠葡萄酒。現在就可以享用。 ——於2020年11月18日品嚐
