Beautifully mineral and working with spicy curry. — a month ago
Beautiful salinity. More depth and body than you’ll normally find in a Muscadet. — 2 days ago

Strawberry and raspberry, watermelon candy. I can see people that don’t enjoy wine liking this one. — 16 days ago
Big tannins and deep blackberry. I expect this will be less overpowering tomorrow.
Update: A couple days of air softened the tannins and let an additional taste of purple plum come through. — 21 days ago
I cannot describe how excited I’ve been for this bottle.
From Portugal’s tiny Colares wine region, this is the famed Ramisco grape, grown in vines in the sands off the coast of Sintra. Back when phylloxera destroyed most of Europe’s grapevines, these survived as the parasite couldn’t make its way in the sands the grapevines grew in. The Portuguese crown then nationalized the wine- unique to Portugal- and used it in diplomacy as a form of soft power.
The wine starts with a roughness that smooths into a beautiful, medium bodied flavour of black cherry and blackberry. Think of a juicy California Pinot Noir that manages the punch of a Rioja.
A wine worthy of its great history.

Barnyard. nose. And so many flavours jumping all over this dry wine.
This a great wine to pair with a dish sporting Caribbean hot sauce and for when you’re wanting something a bit out there. — 2 days ago
