TASTING NOTE: A blend of Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Aragonez, Tinta Barroca and Syrah that delivers just the harmonious, complex experience that's creating such excitement around the dry wines of Portugal. Dark and red fruit on the nose and palate along with touches of mocha and spice with refined tannins on the finish. Try with a slow- cooked stew of lamb and root vegetables.
