 Tasted by bjecjohnson on 4/29/2011 & rated 88 points: APPEARANCE: Lovely dark purple with nice legs.
AROMA: Rust and blueberry muffins
TASTE: A bit of sour fruit on the front end. White pepper on the back end with a smooth finish. Good QPR. (3730 views)
 Tasted by bccdavid on 4/20/2010 & rated 83 points: I agree with the other comments: nothing too exciting, but for $5 a good QPR. Had it on a Tuesday night with Pizza. Pretty good value for that match. (3612 views)
 Tasted by hutch on 2/5/2010 & rated 82 points: Fox Point (Office): Easy drinking. Boring. Not much there. (4294 views)
 Tasted by MrTaz on 5/13/2009 & rated 79 points: How disappointing. For me, the 2005 was one of the top value wines around. This one just doesn't deliver. Seems like a watered-down version of the 05. Not worth the $5 price. (2543 views)
 Tasted by dke on 4/22/2009 & rated 84 points: Not bad. Short finish and a bit watery but some nice spiciness, bitterness and acidity. 84-85 (2185 views)
 Tasted by DoubleMagnum on 4/21/2009 & rated 87 points: I agree with the rest. This is simple. It's not bad, it's not offensive, it's actually a good wine. It's got some character but lacks body, extract and concentration. But this is under $5 bucks so can we ask for much more than that? I doubt it. I actually like Charamba better but it's about 75 cents more. For the price this is very hard to beat. (2111 views)
 Tasted by Grape_ape on 4/11/2009 & rated 85 points: spicy red fruit, lots of pepper, rhone like qualities. Solid for $4.98, but didn't "love" it... (2136 views)
 Tasted by danseng on 2/21/2009 & rated 86 points: A little sweet and somewhat simple, but what do you expect for $5? I would highly recommend this wine as a great value. (2280 views)

Reserva

Still Portuguese table wines of designated origin may also be labelled "reserva", indicating an alcohol content of at least 0.5% higher than the legal minimum established by the respective DOC or VR; however, stricter requirements in individual DOCs may supersede this standard.
