This is the 'tindery' Cab franc / sauv blanc blend. Interesting enough, the sauv shows by the bucket load with a semi-slippery initial texture until the grainy greenish tannin from the Franc kicks in. The herbaceous notes from the sauv only add to how herbaceous Franc can be. It shows a lot of black cherry, sour raspberry and cut green herbs. If you look at it deeply enough it does show some guava and lychee notes from the sauv but they're probably not even worth mentioning. Co-ferment of the two I'm lead to believe, approach with an open mind, it can throw you about a bit. At $38 a bottle, bit of a gamble in my opinion, especially for something as experimental as such — 8 years ago

A great bottle of Shiraz for a great week! Dark dark cherry, pepper, tobacco, and spice. Outstanding with the Sao Jorge cheese and Filet Mignon I just pulled of the grill :) #yegwine — 12 years ago

Bought this in Patagonia and it traveled with me through Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Los Angeles, San Diego, and the Central Coast of California; where I opened it at Ragged Point. Berries and vanilla. Robust and deep, but an amazingly smooth and light finish. My favorite... well worth the hassle of carrying halfway across the earth. — 9 years ago
After years trying to taste it in a proper manner, I finally found the opportunity over a decent red pepper steak with red grape sauce. I was surprised not to see Alicante Bouschet into this baco original from the heights of the Serra de Sao Mamede in Portalegra, but the truth is that the typical granite soils from the region are powering this Touriga Nacional to its best!! Amazing quality price wine! — 9 years ago

In Sao Paulo, we blind tasted this and suggested Cote du Rhone, close as it is syrah, but Brazilian. It's structured like a post and beam house, solid but with a lot of space. Balanced. — 8 years ago
We came to Priorat for the wine and this 100% carignan is a great example why. Mineral but balanced, dark mixed berry but not fruit forward or jammy, a smooth finish that lingers. Priorat vines struggle in the slate and produce wines I do much enjoy.
