(Quinta do Cabriz) #2; COLOR-dark; NOSE-like an imaginary blend of sour cherries and radish's; and a hint of floral action; PALATE-a little hint of oakiness -- I like this little creamy, vanilla action; the sour cherries translated from the nose; there's an herbaceous action on the mid-palate which I find interesting and it finished fairly well; at this price point, it's quite nice; very well made; a perfect Wednesday night wine; GV-86

Dark red, a little cloudy. Raspberry, dirt, and pepper nose. Tart cherries muted by the thinnish body, some woody tannins, good acid, and a short to medium finish. Good for the price but nothing special.

consumed with a bunch of portugese seasoned pork ribs.. wonderful combination! chunks of pepper and salt brought out the spiciness of this wine.

50+4+8+16+7 Sour cherry with white vegatable on nose. Moderate acidity with copious cherry and some oak, somewhat limp on the finish, but was outside in 90+ degree heat, so can't totally fault the wine. Fabulous QPR!

Vinturied. Purple as a moonless night an hour after sunset. Blackberries, violets, and leather on the nose. Good dark berry flavors somewhat overwhelmed by the oaky tannins. Light to medium bodied, decent acid (went fine with a burger), and a shortish finish. Its far from perfect, but for $6, this is a winner.

A solid wine in the low end of the "very good" category. Decanted for about 30 minutes. NOT NEARLY ENOUGH, as it improved substantially over the next 3 hours. I did not like the nose because I found it alcoholic, which was a surprise because the ABV was only 13%. the palate was much better than the nose. As it developed, there were red berries, tart cherry and pepper with a bit of some other spice I could not put my finger on . . . possibly allspice. Mouth feel was smooth with less astringent tanins than I expected. Color was very dark. One of the CT notes says the wine was a bit "port-like" with a questionmark. Good call when one of the three grapes int he blend is Touriga National, which is the principal grape in most ports. I have noticed that flavor in other Touriga National non-fortified wines from Portugal, and looked for it here. It was very faint and mixed with the cherry fruit. This wine was a gift and I do not know what it costs, but I would characterize it as a very nice every day drinker for a dinner with red meat if it can be had for under about $10.
