Dark, rich, muddy. Makes me want some grilled meat with rocky soil under foot. Another fun one from the NYT under $20 list.

Legit tasted like the rocky Douro soil it's grown in. Dark fruit.

Grapey in both aroma and flavor, a little hot. Other than the fact that it's wine, there's not much going on with this one.

A blend of eight traditional varietals this is one of the new still wines of the Douro.
