Winery Review: From vineyards at 2000 feet elevation, this is a rich and spicy wine that has a pure steak of fruit freshness and a firmly tannic core. It is perfumed from Touriga Nacional in the blend, with red berry and black plum flavors coming through strongly along, balanced by acidity. It will be better from 2017.
My Review: This wine is very delicious, and it is probably my favorite from the rest of the five. This medium bodied wine has earthy aromas and represents it's Terroir. The wine is perfectly acidic. The main flavors are blackberry and dark cherries. The aftertaste leaves the mouth feeling parched and leathery.
I did not consume any food with this wine.
