Herbaceous: Describes the aromas and flavors of herbs in a wine. A plus in many wines such as Sauvignon Blanc and, to a lesser extent, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Herbal is a synonym, though when the concentration of the aroma is high, and becomes less than pleasant, the term herbaceous is often used.

草本味： 形容葡萄酒里香草的香气和味道。在许多葡萄品种所酿制的葡萄酒里这都是一个优点，比如长相思，在较少的程度上，对美乐和赤霞珠而言是优点。herbal是它的同义词,但当香味的浓度高,并成为不愉快气味时常使用herbaceous一词。
