Black cherry and plum fruit-forward aromas and on the palate with a little spiciness too, a lush mouth feel with balanced acidity and soft tannins. This is what I want in a Portuguese red!!

Very tasty aged Portuguese red. If I had it blind, I would guess Northern Spanish - Ribera del Duero or Rioja. Smooth and slightly musty/earthy from the age (got some cork crumbles). Opens pretty quickly, with concentrated red fruit and some blackberry. Pleasant tannic grip with a soft texture. Bold flavor throughout, big body (14.5% abv), some pepper and dry grass on a savory finish. Nice for a reasonable price. — a year ago

Can I just say that people who post Matt had the 2017 vintage or Sally had the 2015 are complete assholes. No one has the slightest interest in which vintage you tried if you were too preoccupied or whatever to make interesting or intelligent critique of the wine.

Liked this wine and would buy it again. Tinto. Label doesn't provide the grapes.

From the internet; Made from the traditional grape varieties of the region, Tinta Roriz, Jaen, Alfrocheiro and Touriga Nacional, this is a simple and fruity wine that maintains the freshness and elegance typical of Dão wines. — 5 years ago

Simples e divertido, como pular amarelo amarelinha (Rayuela em espanhol). Uma calçada, um pedaço de giz e uma pequena pedra. Um convite a rememorar a simplicidade da vida que aviva.

Como este vinho, que traz aroma de amora, ameixa, pimenta negra e tabaco. Sabores de ameixa silvestre, chá preto e ervas aromáticas, combinadas com suaves taninos que levam a um final persistente e equilibrado. — 5 years ago

Good pairing with fish, grilled red and white meat and soft cheeses.
“This nice mid-weight wine hails from the Dao region of Portugal. It is a blend of grapes consisting of Alfrocheiro, Tinto-Roriz, and Touriga-National. Each grape is vinified separately, spends 6 months on oak, then it is bottled and cellared. It is defined by black currant, black raspberry, black pepper and a hint of earthiness. An elegant palate of blueberry, dark plum and black pepper spices that stay on the finish. A good match with a pepper-encrusted pork tenderloin on the grill.” Surdyk’s Spring Sale $7.49; regularly $11.99
