The 2011 is ok. This is a light wine with a little bite. A wine that would go fine with fried chicken. — 7 years ago
Amazing Port from Dao, Portugal. The only One from this appelation. — 7 years ago
Fantastic value at $10. Delicious to drink and even more delicious in boeuf Bourguignon. Deep garnet in color. Nose: Mostly prune with some elderberry jam. Palate: tannic and spicy with some added blackberry and mild black licorice notes. Medium finish with savory, spicy notes hanging around longer than the fruit. — 8 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
