Vinha Do Fava

Reserva Touriga Nacional 2020

Ah, the "Vinha Do Fava Reserva Touriga Nacional"-a jewel hailing from the sun- drenched slopes of the Dão region in Portugal. This splendid elixir showcases the Touriga Nacional grape, famed for its role in the Port production, yet here it revels splendidly on its own. With a rich, inky hue, delight your senses with aromas of dark berries, enticing violets, and a whisper of exotic spices, leading to a palate as layered as a Shakespearean plot-dark fruits mingling with touches of cocoa and a velvety finish. Fun fact: the vineyard, Vinha Do Fava, is tended by a producer who named the estate after a vintage bicycle; one must appreciate the commitment to endurance, whether on two wheels or in a glass! Now, for delectables: pair this ruby nectar with grilled lamb-oh, the umami! Or a rich, creamy cheese like aged cheddar; the tannins cut through the richness like a well-timed jest. It was rated 94 points by Wine Enthusiast; a score as heady as the wine itself. And remember, "Why was the grape unhappy? Because it was being crushed!" Cheers! — 2 months ago

Casa Ermelinda Freitas

Vinha da Fonte Touriga Nacional 2021

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.
