Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - #1 vina do burato ribeira sacra
2009
purple, med- trans, very purple like a darker and more trans pn but nose different
nose: cherry, med+ intensity, fresh berry, very young 2009
palate: dry, acid is med+ I, tannin low, body med- alc est 13, finish is med+ and very tart/juicy
style note: This is a young, vibrant wine from a young vintage with high acidity and very fresh cherry notes. The tart cherry flavor will pair well with pork or salmon. Good structure and finesse.
Note on winemaking: Can be confused with many fresh wines from italy, though the cherry here is fresher. Production - curious if whole bunch pressed, only old oak, little masceration, ferm at cool temp
