This blend of Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional is quintessential Duoro and is outstanding for under $15. It's rich purple-ruby in color. It's a medium-bodied wine with rich fruit flavors of blueberry and black cherry, a hint of oak influence, and lovely acidity on the finish. It's a lot of wine for very little money.

A good solid Portuguese red blend. Black fruit and solid tannins. Can't beat the $15 price point.

Good red fruits on the nose. A certain freshness and high acidity on palate. Great body and structure. Spicy notes on the back finish.

Strong berry, plum jam notes on the palate. Dry and clean. Strong in alcohol. No tannins no minerality
