A blend of all the local Douro grapes. A little difficult to pin down. Maybe more air will help.

A blend of 4 Portuguese grape varieties with the majority being the full bodied Touriga Nacional. It has an intense and pleasant nose of plum, violet flowers, and hints of coffee beans & black pepper. Full bodied silky pallate with plum, blueberry, & dark chocolate coming through, along with robust but not overpowering tannins. An excellent pairing with marinated flank steak & wild ramp chimichurri! ($12) [4/25/20]

Learning how to rate. Dry but fruity. Little bit of smoke?

Very balanced- fruit, richness, but not heavy or fruity.

This is basically port which has not yet been turned into port. All the awesome Portuguese red grapes. Yummy. Especially at $15

Ce n’est pas un mauvais vin, c’est un vin pas dans ma palette. En fait goute le raisin sec ! Pas pu finir la bouteille.

Très bon rouge, fruité mi-corsé qui se marie bien avec pas mal tout.
