  6/1/2020 - Wine Of The Moment Likes this wine: 89 Points

  There is something to be said about the richness of wines from Portugal. A well-made wine from there can be quite addicting! This blend of Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, and Touriga Franca can hit that mark. It is sourced from the Douro and Alentejo regions in Portugal. The deep violet color is complimented by the aromas of plums and blueberry on the nose. The enriched blackberry flavors continue to excite those taste buds for more. This is followed by some cocoa notes to further accentuate the berries and a bit of earthiness rounds things out on the finish. Dry, yes. Bold tannins, but of course…it is from Portugal! Ironically, the finish has a touch of vanilla that lingers for a moment just to tease. Nice job and Saúde!

  In store tasting at Total Wines & More. Unfortunately, the winemaker name and reputation isn’t enough to save this. Made from a standard “port blend” and vinified to dry. Lots of fruit, but it lacks acidity making the flavors “raisiny” and the finish short. A “Pass” for me.

  Reminded me of a Periquita that I use to love from Portugal many years ago. A bit more substantial but with the same sparky fruity nose, bright fruit on the palate and nice (if nothing special) finish. A lot lighter and easier drinking than I would have expected from this location but nice!

  Not a lot of definition put a really nice intense nose with a meaty texture.
