From the producer: The Galleano Home Ranch produced two wines for us last year: Galleano Rosso and Galleano Rosato. This year, the Salvador that produced the Rosso was in short supply, but we got many more other varieties than we had anticipated, so we combined everything.
The vineyard was originally planted to produce grapes for dessert wines (Pais, Palomino, Grenache, Alicante Bouschet, and Salvador) and all the grapes make an appearance in this light colored red wine. Last year, it was harvested drunkenly in the afternoon. This year it was harvested quickly during two morning picks under a low sky of clouds that kept things cool until we strapped down our bins and pulled off, waving goodbye to Dom, Red, Raj, and the LA River crew.
