Reviews and Ratings

A blend of 50% Touriga Franca, 30% Tinta Roriz, and 20% Touriga Nacional, this offers up suggestions of raspberry, pomegranate syrup, and spiced plum on the nose. The palate is voluptuous and alluring, simply overflowing with sun-drenched fruit. The tannins are big, curvy and supple. Delicious now but will cellar nicely for 2-3 years.

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.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
