Dão Red Blend

Cool that this is sustainable agriculture- and cool that this is from the Serra da Estrella area - famous for pristine honey and delicious Serra da Estrella cheese- this wine is a blend of 3 grapes/ and cool that it has 25 percent jaen (mencia or to some Cabernet franc typology) - I paid roughly 12$ for this bottle so it’s not pricey in anyway so considering you get sustainable agriculture and a great tri blend this is a good deal. The wine on the palate is fine- it just lacks focus. It’s a mid palate wine that has no highs or lows and I feel with a bit more finesse could actually be a great inexpensive and leading wine. The profile is mid to deep fruits with out the punch so it leaves you wanting a bit more- or as I like to say a high or a deep low to hunker into and enjoy. Portugal has great wines and they are priced all over the place- it would be amazing if this wine could deliver what a 20-25 dollar value delivers at this price point and maintain the sustainability as one of its monikers.
