JL tasting Portugal Beira interior 2/20/18. 100% Siria. Sparkling. Golden slight amber color. Interesting nose that's slate stones minerals and acidic, white flowers. Palate that'd make one think Chablis with liveliness and sharpness, long finish that's acidic. Just a bit unbalanced on the acidic side but wear a goos food wine. Remind me of that Georgian sparking. Good value at $16. — 8 years ago

Fantastic, crisp white. Great with fish and seafood. Shared the bottle with two women, and all three of us thought it was a knockout with our sea bass, prawns and squid. — 8 years ago

Dark black fruit on the nose, lots of sour cherry, pure, with a pinch of baking spice, quite fresh & enticing.
There’s quite some power on the palate, with robust tannic frame (a bit dry, 12m French oak) and fresh acidity, nicely filled with the cherry fruit. Good purity, good length. A bit of a chewy wine but drinking nicely. Better with food. — 18 days ago
