Casa Ferreirinha (Sogrape Vinhos)

Barca Velha Douro Red Blend 2011

Another beauty. 45% Touriga Franca, 35% Touriga Nacional, the rest is Tinto Roriz and Tinto Cao. Powerful rich and delicious, but it seemed a bit lighter than the Unico and a lot lighter than the Pingus. Decanted 5 hours before serving. Some of the big guns from the Iberian Peninsula! — 2 months ago

Had the 2020. A little sweet, but decent flavor. — 6 months ago

Carvalhas Douro Branco 2021

Star bright yellow gold. Inviting nose of quince and white pepper. Medium full palate confirms the nose adding an earthy mineral (at once) note all supported by firm (medium plus) acidity. White rose(!) on the lengthy, palate continuing finish. This 50/50 blend of Gouvelo and Voisinho makes an excellent upper entrée into Portuguese whites; a category most have yet to explore. It's a great pair for roasted fowl or pork and of course most Iberian fare. Drink now through 2026. — 10 months ago

Coutada Velha

Regional Alentejano Red Blend

Better than expected. Liked it by itself, but did not like it paired with red pasta sauce. — 7 months ago

Quinta das Carvalhas Porto Tawny 20 Years Old Port Blend

Tasty. Hubby and I have really been digging this winery so had to try their port. Deep rich aromas of cocoa, vanilla and tobacco. Lots of raisin, date and figs. Drinks sweet up front with the dried fruit flavor dominating before giving way to oak flavors, tannins and a touch of acid to wash the sweetness away. — 10 months ago

Quinta das Carvalhas 30 Year Old Tawny Porto

Semi-sweet on the front end, smoky finish, making the barreling and age a defining characteristic. Brown-red color and nutty, caramel notes. Exceptional tawny port (as it should be) — 5 months ago

Reserva Velha Madeira Bual 1863

If I had to drink a wine produced during the Civil War, this would be it. What an elegant, but still lively expression of what Madeira can be. Soft and supple. Finish goes forever. Magical. — 10 months ago
