Tasting - Vina Galana

Name: Vina Galana


Variety: Alicante Bouchet

Country: Spain

Year: 2012

Price: $9.95
Winery 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 wine had a mild smell with a hint of spice.  The flavor was of oak or wood and had a burnt taste to it. It was also very dry. Overall, I did not like this wine.
