Tinto da Anforma 2009 (about $15)







About the Wine:  Portuguese still wines have never really caught on in the American market, which is a shame because the terroir and choices of grape varietals and techniques can make for an interesting drinking experience.

About THIS Wine:  The center is purple and fades to a garnet rim.  Raspberry and dark fruit are prominent on the nose with hints of bitter herbs.  The palate is very sharp with a lot of red fruit which fades into a cherry finish.

Drinking This Wine:  The palate is too sharp for a sipping wine.  This would go well with sweet meats.

Overall Impression:  I cannot say exactly what I expect for fifteen dollars but this wine does not have it.  It is overpriced.
