Expert Review: From the
rare Alicante Bouchet, one of the few grapes in the world with red flesh this
wine has a plush texture carring flavors of brandied cherry and chocolate
ganache in this round red. Light tannins and gentle acidity impart a lovely,
balanced structure.
My Review: This Vina Galana was deep red in color. The aroma
was earthy and reminded me of fresh green beans. This crisp fresh aroma was
complimented by the taste of a grassy flavor which continued through the after taste.
In the mid palate, bitter strawberry was also noticeable.
Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at
the Vintage Cellar.
