Tasting: Prime's Ruby Port


Prime's
Ruby Port
(Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinto Cao, Tinta Roriz)
Oporto
Portugal
$11.95

Winery Review: Ruby color with red fruit aromas; pleasantly sweet and balanced taste. As the wines used to produce Prime’s Ruby Port age , they gain smoothness and elegance while retaining their fruitiness, intensity and youthful ruby color. They are then blended together for smoothness and consistency.

My Review: This was a great flavorful port. There were nice bold flavors that were silky smooth; wiht flavors of oak and plum.

I tried this wine by itself.

Tasting: Risata Prosecco

Risata Prosecco Extra Dry Italy $16 Winery Review:  The nose has the scent of ripe peaches. It is semi-sweet with peach apricot and floral notes on the palate. My Review: This was a nice refreshing wine that was a real easy drinker. The wine offered aromas of nectarine and peaches, followed by peaches on the palate accompanied by light citrus hints. This wine had low tannins and can be enjoyed all throughout the day! I tried this wine by itself.

Tasting: Palacio del Burgo Rioja Tinto

Palacio del Burgo Rioja Tinto  ( 85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha & 5% Mazuelo) Rioja Spain 2015 $8.95 Winery Review:  Bright violet. Vibrant red and dark berry scents are complemented by hints of cola and candied flowers. Fresh and energetic on the palate, offering juicy raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that deepen and become sweeter on the back half. Gentle tannins build slowly on the clinging finish but are no match for the plush, primary fruit. This delicious Rioja drinks surprisingly well already. My Review: This was a nice subdued wine that was bright and fillin. The wine gave dark berry notes accompanied by low orange and very sweet notes that attributed to the brightness of teh wine. The wine was easy to drink and low tannins.  I drank this wine by itself.
