Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, February 9, 2010 - Label: The Vale do Bomfim is produced by the Symington family from grapes grown in vineyards that traditionally supply the House of Dow. It reflects the new style of wines from the Upper Douro Valley where the region's wealth of grape varieties, mature vineyards and modern winemaking have been successfully combined. The powerful, yet elegant structure of this wine offers assertive spice aromas and delicious wild berry flavors.
Review: This 2007 Red Table Wine is a blend of 5 different grape varietals. It's 58% Tinta Barroca, 15% Tinta Roriz, 14% Touriga Nacional, 8% Tinto Cao, 5% Tinta Amarela. It’s a very nice deep purple color. 14.5% alcohol. I decanted this bottle for 4 hours. I get aromas of Plum, Blueberries, Margarine, Crayola Crayons, Red Brick and Tennis Ball with hints of Black Licorice and Leather. Flavors of blackberries, sour cherry and bitter chocolate on the palate. A little dry with medium tannins. Lot's of dark fruit and a little oak on the finish.
