Spero Winery (Colorado) June 4, 2005

Spero Winery shares a vineyard in Denver with Balistreri. In October they have a harvest festival and dinner together, sounds like a fun event. Contact them to get on the list to be notified of the exact date and time. Too bad the crowd was so big here, I would have liked to try more than two, but courtesy to the other guests always makes things go smoother.


The first one I sampled was the 2000 Sangiovese. Has medium quick legs with a raisinlike nose. Has flavors of deep fruits, but none of the tartness of Italian sangiovese. Medium finish to this nice wine. Grade: B


Finally I tried the 2001 Syrah. Medium deep red color with medium legs. Has a sweet nose. Sweet (not overly, more subdued) with a nice body and overall smooth flavors. Medium length finish. Nice. Grade: B
