Touriga Nacional Rosé 2024

The rose which I judge all other roses every year. It’s never disappointed and usually tastes better than I remember. 2024 is the same. A lot of acidity, lemons, strawberry cream, more berries, a touch of melon, saline, shells. This could go with any food. Love it. — 13 days ago

A lovely red blend of 60% Touriga Nacional, 20% Touriga Franca, 20% Tinta Roriz, red fruits, intense aromatics, fruity, and very smooth and silky, inviting mouthfeel, delicious texture and long finish! Never disappoints! — 2 months ago

Dona Santana Touriga Nacional Blend

Beautiful Dao red — meaty and earthy yet refined. It took some time to breathe but delicious with my Christmas Eve meal.
This winery also makes great Portuguese olive oil.

Blocks 7 & 22 Napa Valley Zinfandel 2021

2021 vintage. The best, sub $20 resto cost Napa/Sonoma Zin I've had in ages. May hafta pick up a few cases. Excellent balance and concentration throughout. Gives me hope for CA Zinfandel that I've not had in nearly two decades. That's a whole lotta Zin under the bridge. 0 — 3 months ago

I love a good Zin but there is so much sweet, simple, jammy crap out there. Gotta stick with the classic producers.

This one is solid! They did a nice tasting in Saratoga, CA several months ago.
