This is a red-fruited, juicy, easy-drinking red that will do surprisingly well in cellar over the next few years. The generous aromas feature sweet red cherry, black plum and Asian five spice powder lead to a juicy fresh palate of raspberry, cherry and plum fruit plus more spice and a light floral accent. The tannins give just a touch of satisfying chew right now – perfect for pairing up with burgers, ribs, or sausages from the grill but not interfering with solo sipping. A stellar value to stock up on while you can!
2017 Vintage Scores:
"Portuguese winemakers are masters at blending different grapes, and this wine is seen as a homage to their skills. Bringing together a range of Portuguese and international varieties, the wine is firm, structured and richly tannic. It has great acidity to balance the black fruits, and has some aging potential."

I love the complexity this wine brings at such a low price. Yummy dark fruits shine. Only thing that can make this better is Eggplant Parm from the Market.

The perfect daily red table wine. Inexpensive & easy to drink! Cherry, cranberry, and spice! Medium bodied with smooth balanced tannins. I love to pair this Portuguese red with tacos!
