About the Wine: Portuguese reds are almost always blends, as is traditional in European wine making. Because they are obscure in the American market it is always hit and miss to find good ones. On the bright side, they're usually fairly cheap.
About THIS Wine: The purple center fades to a pink rim. Roast duck is prominent on the nose, reminiscent of some Pinot Noirs. Dark fruit and red fruit are prominent on a slightly tart palate that finishes dry.
Drinking This Wine: Not really a sipper, but I think it would go well with roast duck or other white meats in heavy sauces.
Overall Impression: This is nothing special but the price is. At ten dollars it is a good value.
