In honor of Spectator's man-crush on the country of Portugal, here is a $17 wine they gave 93 points. Loaded with black fruits, chocolate, and spice. Well-structured and polished, this is a decidedly modern style - not a wine of place. Still, a great value. Also a great label.

Touriga blend. Slightly green initially but that gives way to chocolate covered sour cherry. Tannins still providing a back of cheek grit. Tasty stuff from Churchill

Value red, no doubt. Nice firm tannins, ample acidity and plenty of fruit, dry flowers and earth. A great dry red from the Douro Valley.

Great region and great vintage results in a terrific value. Perfect with red meats and strong cheeses
