Ok but a bit too light

I’m starting to think that Tinta Roriz in the hands of Douro winemakers can do no wrong. Simple fruity wine with some pencil shavings notes, which give it a little balance. Why can’t winemakers outside Portugal make such pleasant thirst quenching wines for $9.00?

First time trying a sherry aged wine and I enjoyed it. You can certainly taste the sherry sweetness. The main flavor note is raspberry jam. A bit of acidity and moderate tannins give structure. Medium-light body. A solid red at this price.
