Galen Glen
Stone Cellar Lehigh Valley Zweigelt
Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, USA
Another solid vintage of a very underrated red. Fruit forward cherry and cranberry fruit aromas and flavors. Light bodied and refreshing. Soft texture and tannins.

Galen Glen has some serious Grüner Veltliner going on, and I’m super pumped they are honing in on some Austrian varietals. The climate and land of the vineyard are very similar to Niederösterreich. Zweigelt needs some time still. Nose is actually quite pretty with sour black cherries, cranberries, black pepper, smoke, and a Mr. Bubbles thing going on #winelibrary. But, the palate falls apart and shows no cohesion. Oak dominates the finish in the form of toffee, caramel, and vanilla. The acid spikes without any lift. It’s seems the grapes haven’t been able to ripen enough, and your left with ultra sourness... I feel this could have some potential down the road, though.
