Natalie's Score: 88/100

A terrific value for this price! A full-bodied, smooth, supple, juicy Portuguese red wine that's a blend of local grapes. Aromas of fleshy ripe black plums and smoke. Mouth-watering acidity for a tangy meat or tomato sauce.

Food pairings: grilled pork ribs, burgers, chicken dishes.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Grab a couple of bottles of this smoothie and fire up the grill! Rich aromas and flavours of dark red fruit, plums, sweet spice and floral notes. Excellent value and a great match for burgers with all the fixin's.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
