Took about 3 hours to fully open up. Delicious!
Full bodied with dark berries, plum and cassis. Complex notes, and very smooth. Chewy tannins and nice legs. Mild pepper notes.

The 2009 vintage of Quinta Ferreira estate winery Obra-Prima is garnet colored and packed with dense aromatics and flavors. This wine yields from the BC VQA Okanagan Valley. Tasted in early 2015, on first impression, it is packed with Cocoa, ripe plum, ripe blackberry, vanilla bean, and a hint of Black sage, slight anise and umami. On the palate, this wine mirrors it's aromatics. With a mouth feel which is smooth and velvety, it has medium tenants, medium acidity, dry, only slightly grippy, medium fruit and is well-balanced. This wine comes from a Portuguese wine maker and the name of this blend "obra – prima" is Portuguese for "masterpiece" or "work of art". Well integrated and medium plus bodied, this wine pairs well with grilled, barbecued or roasted chicken, mildly spiced Italian barbecued sausage, or fig infused goats cheese on garlic crustinis. This wine is ready for consumption presently and recommend drink 2015-2018.
