TASTING NOTE: Rede is at the western, cooler end of the Douro vineyards and it shows in the fresh feel to this wine. The tannins are softer as well, creating a wine that is much more about fruit than about structure. Black fruits show well freshened with acidity and balanced with the dry, final tannins. Drink from 2017. Editors' Choice. Score - 91 (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, April 1, 2016) Price $ 17.95
