ALBERO - Spanish Red Wine 2007 Tempranillo Barrica

This Pinot Noir was actually very easy for me to drink, meaning it was smooth and not too dry. It was acidic and kind of woody. Not a complex wine. 


This wine went well with this bow tie pasta cooked in pink vodka sauce with salmon and basil. It, probably the tomatoes, definitely took the acidity out a little from the wine. The combination was just perfect when both the wine and the pasta were in my mouth. 


I couldn't finish the whole glass because this wasn't a "by-itself" wine for me. I'd only drink it with food.
