This wine, very affordable, is enjoyable just on its own. It has a bold approach, but a smooth aftertaste.

Had saved this unfiltered gem. It has never been produced the same. If you can find it with bottle age, you will be rewarded.

Fruit forward with a strong tannin spine, good value Portuguese red from north of country.

I liked but at the time I was craving more wine. Jody didn't like. The aroma was nice. Fruity and light like a pinot. The taste left me wanting more but it was dry and smooth and did the trick. I want to try it blind bc the price is fantastic.

An inexpensive red blend which paired well with spaghetti Bolognese.

Winemaker states the wine is made from native regional grape varieties from very old vines. •13.5% ABV• Upon opening there was a nail polish smell. An hour after decanting the wine opened up revealing ripe blackberry jam, plum and cedar. Medium body with low tannins + medium acidity. An acceptable red wine considering it cost less than $10.

CM liked and bought after sampling. Actually bit bad for a blend. Dry and sharp, not overly sweet.
