Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - Tasting with Joe Gallo (Buffalo, NY): Color: ruby
Smell: Clove, spice, orange rind, blue fruit, and lilac notes.
Taste: A melange of bright red fruits, cinamon, a hint of flint, and kumkuats.
Overall: This is a wine I am probably biased on. I do love how elegant and delicate it shows while still holding the power and intensity of flavors as it does. At 11.5% it is food friendly, and the sort of bottle that I can drink all by myself without batting an eyelash.
