Vintage 2016 / Dão. 80% Jaen 10% Tinta Roriz 5% Alfrocheiro and even 5% others. Smoooooth! Great weekday wine with fine red summerfruit. Not complicated. Comforting. When you do not want to think about the wine in your glass, but only enjoy it. Bargainprice.

One of the best red wines I have ever had at any price. At under $20 an extraordinary bargain. 2014 vintage in 2020. Aged perfectly and very smooth. Luscious berry. Pleasant nose. Could drink this daily. Similar reactions from a number of experienced wine drinkers who were pleasantly surprised.

Delightfully funky in that distinctly Portuguese way. Perfectly balanced and about as “interesting” as you can get for $13 without using the word euphemistically. The label recommends pork or chicken. Honey glazed tofu worked for us, but stewed oxtail did not.

Eminently drinkable. Good mouthfeel. Not too dry, not too fruit forward.

Fun, funky blend! Just fantastic on its own. Light but flavorful so also good with chicken. Bought at BP (and super affordable).
