Herdade de Peso 2015 Trinca Bolotas, Alentejo
Sogrape is Portugal’s Gallo Wines. It’s the biggest winemaker in the country, and it’s not above throwing a critter on the label. This is the company behind Mateus, for effing crissake.
I really really really wish Gallo could make something as good and well-priced as this Trinca Bolotas. This is some seriously good juice. A light bodied wine with medium acidity, the flavors cherry and blackberry are bright and fresh. Allspice and white pepper are balanced with a note of smoked tea leaves. This is a fresh bottle of red that’s perfect for lamb stews, cassoulet, or even a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket.
This came into the PA Wine & Spirits stores for $10, and it’s well worth grabbing a few bottles. That said, don’t buy into the PLCB hype that this is a $15 wine that they are selling for $10. the PLCB often quotes the listed price of a wine, which is kinda bunk: Everyone around the globe sells this bottle for around $11.
