A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Quinta do Crasto has been owned and operated by the Roquette family for more than 100 years. The legacy of fine winemaking is hard to miss in this 2015 beauty. Smoky dark fruit and underbrush on the nose with evocative herbal and tea leaf tones. Firm and long with ripe black fruit dominant on palate. Try this with a lamb stew, or smoked ribs.
