I have not been having a good past couple of months.
I'll spare you all the drama, but the gist of it is that there has been a lot of sickness & death around me. Therefore, I'm not going to launch into how I chose this wine. It has a screw top, a 13.8% alcohol content, and it's under ten bucks. That should say it all.
HOLY CRAP! This wine has just blitzkrieged my palate & made my life a heck of a lot better. While weak on the nose, all I get is cherries on the palate. Cherries, leather & spice. Spice like cinnamon, but the bite of the cinnamon, not the taste.
Wow. Wow, wow, wow. Thank you, thank you, thank you Bodegas Callia, for helping me to forget (however briefly) that my father-in-law has been in the hospital for the last three weeks & that I have to go to my great-aunt's funeral tomorrow. I plan on taking out stock. http://www.bodegascallia.com/eng/
Cheers!
