This is a red-fruited, juicy, easy-drinking red that will do surprisingly well in the 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."
