This is not my first Portuguese red, but again, I'm amazed at the price-to-quality ratio of this wine. It's a nice, everyday food-friendly red. I taste cranberry, raspberry, and black cherry, with some toasty notes, and nice acidity on the longer-than-expected finish. Only $10, you can't lose. This was a media sample provided to me. I'd pair this with a hearty meal like Thanksgiving, pizza, just about anything.

Soft and balanced, light notes of dark cherry, a hint of vanilla, an oaky finish

Boozy on the nose. Some tart cherry. Not bad, but definitely not great.

2013 vintage. Cherry and blackberry with some slate. Strong tannins on the finish. A little sharp at first, needed a half hour or so to breathe.

Very aromatic with sweet black fruit and floral notes on the nose. Black fruits such as blackberries and plums on the palate. Not terribly complex but very quaffable red blend.
