1. This is a wine that DarrellCorti instructed me to buy about a yr ago. The Galleano WebSite has no information on this wine, but it's supposedly a red blend. It strikes me as a sherry that was stored in barrels outside exposed to the sun. Except for the strong Am.oak signature, it reminded me a bit of the Sandeman Imperial Corregidor Oloroso Sherry, though not quite as complex. This is the kind of wine they should be making more of in Calif.
