Actually a blend of Cab Sauv, Castelão, Syrah, Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet. This wine is a very dark purple, almost inky. The nose is also dark, showing blackberry notes alongside savory tobacco, spice and earth, all in a very smokey framework. The palate of this interesting blend is nearly stunning. Tannins have a good grip, but the blue fruit flavors are amazing and the acidity leaves the sipper salivating. It seems bizarre to me that this wine cost less than $10. It drinks like it should cost much more.

Extremely balanced black fruits, licorice, vanilla and tons of milk chocolate. Rounded tannins. Just a really nice drop. Best dry red on the Portuguese trip. — a year ago

A new white varietal (Encruzado) for me. Bright golden color. Aromas and flavors of unripe peach, green melon, apricot and lemon zest. Nice touch of minerality on the long, intense and luxurious finish. Quite fresh, with mouth watering acidity and a bold mouthfeel. Pleasant surprise. Thanks for sharing, Ron B! — 6 months ago
