Shop Review: This Portuguese tinto (red) blend exhibits
a deep red color with violet hues. The
nose is vibrant and fruity. The palate
offers notes of spice, cherry, and dark berry supported by good structure. It pairs well with red or game meat, cheeses,
and fish. (Kevin, Dionysis, Vintage
Cellar)
My Review: This wine exhibited thicker legs, and it was
light and complex at the same time. It
had a distinct smell- sweet with a hint of something more. The taste was very smooth with cherry and
other berry flavors combined with a subtle spice. Very nice overall.
I tasted this wine on its own, without food.
