Casa Santos Lima Bons Ventos 2014, Portugal: Sweet black and purple plums on the nose and palate. Full-bodied and smooth. The vines are planted in limestone and clay soils and are influenced by the Atlantic Ocean in moderating the climate. The wine undergoes a long maceration, traditional fermentation and is aged in oak barriques. This wine is a Spanish red wine blend of Castelao, Camarte, Tinta Muda and Touriga Nacional grapes. Pair with barbecued meats.
