Would buy again. Does not have that twang typical of Portugal reds at the end. Recommended by the good folks at Macadoodles. Good wine for the price.

Fairly big red - would never guess it’s from Portugal! Very good in its own, juicy, with smooth finish.

"intense aromas and flavors, resulting from The grapes being stored and venified low temperatures. The fruit is of a unique Alentejan terror, this wine results from a careful selection of great varieties,"

Wood, olive on the nose. Red tart fruits, smooth earth tones. Firm finish. Excellent wine for the price tag.

Very delicious, easy drinking red. Medium-bodied, fruit but not too sweet. Nice acidity.

Interesting and complex, would drink again! Wine club pick, wild grapes so varieties unknown in blend. Big red

Enjoyed this, easy to drink. Feel like it is best as an aperitif rather than as a main glass. (KPL agreed.)

Scored 97 points by Decanter! Very deep and rich! Heavy tannins! Like a Tawny port but unaged.
