comments:

VC: A blend of Touriga Nacional, Baga and Merlot, this wine is filled with raspberry and other berry aromas and flavors. It is round and smooth textured with fresh acidity and ripe tannins for balance. Superb structure and persistently fruity finish make it an excellent value at this price. My note: A pleasantly bitter red with dark red fruit aromas. Full-bodied. Food matches: roast beef, root vegetables.
