Witch Creek Valle de Guadalupe Aglianico – 2007 – 9.0 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

You don’t often see Aglianico coming from outside Italy—and I was surprised to find an Aglianico from the Guadalupe Valley (Valle de Guadalupe) Mexico.  This wine is an homage to it’s brethren across the Atlantic.  This wine well balanced; slightly vitreous—lighter ruby red, vivid acid structure and notes of fresh red plum, clove and cinnamon, vanilla and scent of red flowers.

¡Salud!

De Conciliis Donna Luna Aglianico Campania – 2007 – 9.0 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

A wine to covet for it’s inky quality, abundant acid, complexity, and thick tannins; plenty of spices: cinnamon, allspice, ground clove; roasted dark red fruit, blackberry and red plum, mushroom, and moist wood.

¡Salud!
