  Purchased for $10. A perfect summer sparkling rosé. It's light. It's crisp. There's a very slight hint of sweetness. It's easy drinking and perfect for summer sipping. Even better with company. Baga, Pinot Noir and Touriga Nacional. Crisp red apple, raspberry and a slight hint of yeast/toast. Medium acidity and finish. For the price, you can't go wrong.

  Purchased for $50 and opened for #tawnytuesday. Burnt amber tawny in color with garnet hues. Lovely nose of toffee, vanilla stone fruit. On the palate, lots of the same with the stone fruit morphing into peach and nectarines. Almost hints of peach tea. I love the play between the vanilla and stone fruit. The mouthfeel is luxurious, almost like a cashmere sweater. So soft and elegant. Yet the acidity is still vibrant and lip-smacking. There's a sight bitter orange note on the medium length finish. It's not bad, it adds another dimension, but I don't like that it interrupts that vanilla and stone fruit duet.

  Purchased for $17. The 2020 is a blend of 40 Tinta Roriz, 35 Touriga Franca and 25 Touriga Nacional. Lots of vanilla and oak right out of the bottle. I get a lot of the red fruits and forrest fruits I often find in Tinta Roriz. Nice acidity. Medium weight.
