Interesting as a lighter style red blend from the Douro. Has a fine tannin grittiness, & small black berry approach that is very seductive to this palate. Most analogous to a Moulin A Vent. About 750 cases produced & usually found in restaurants, so quite blessed to drink w friends at Sunset.

Thin, acidic, awful wine that is typically served at bars. Not worth buying.

Juicy, lighter style Douro by famed winemaker Luis Seabra, formerly at Niepoort. Village blend of 7 local varieties (30% Touriga Franca, 20% Tinta Amarela, 20% Tinta Roriz, 10% Rufete, 10% Tinta Barroca, 5% Malvasia Preta, 5% Donzelinho Tinto) from various terraced vineyards in Cima Corgo, in the center of the Douro valley, an area known for its schist soils and high elevation (and home of some of the greatest Port producers). Pomegranate, wet stone, iron, iodine.
