  Medium opacity, this blend of Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca is a stunning ruby color in the glass with singular, yet thick legs. On the nose it is of medium intensity with aromas like black raspberry, red plum, violet, cinnamon, coconut and dried herbs. The palate is dry with mouth coating tannins that are medium strength to go along with the medium (-) acidity. Flavors of red and black fruit combined with a dusty earthiness, floral notes, and some oak influence make for an interesting taste. The wine is medium bodied with the tannins fading rapidly on the back end. The finish is short but tasty. There is a black tea component right at the end that I like. Overall- this 88 pointer gets 4 stars for is $10 price point and ability to pour easily on a weekday with burgers or other non-exotic fare. I like it.

  PNP. Medium body with moderate acidity. My first impressions was that it was very grapey and very one dimensional. However, over time with some air (about 3 hours) it did develop some complexity and spice/leather/tea notes. Last glass was pretty good. I'm not going to assign a score as I think it probably should have been decanted and given a good amount of time to open up.

  Clean, subtle nose of purple flowers, cassis, and lavender. Nothing wrong on the palate, but nothing to write home about. Crowd pleaser and great QPR.

  Misty really likes as a easy red with full berry flavor. No need to serve with food.

  vinho bem feito com aromas de frutas vermelhas mais maduras, um pouco de especiaria, em boca seus taninos são macios, oferece uma acidez de boa qualidade. vinho adequado para o dia a dia.
