What a nice, simple table wine for not a ton of money. Interesting grapes--Roriz (tempranillo), Franca, Nacional--that aren't much seen outside Portugal (except the tempranillo). I don't detect sourness in any meaningful amount, but a pretty big, juicy mouthful of plums (not quite prunes), blackberries, and a little herbality--mint very slightly detected in the background. Worthy of further purchases.

- Purple color with fast forming legs and aromas of cherry and cloves. It's overly acidic and has flavours of blackberry and prune with a light/medium body. Juicy texture with a medium finish.

Lovely little wine. Too young and simple - but very well made and not completely without personality.
