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.
