Garnet color. Attractive aromas and flavors of chocolate raisins, brown buttered toffee, grilled cherries, and Orange Pekoe tea with a silky, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, compelling, medium-long finish manifesting nuances of honeyed berry compote, delicate spiced nuts, hint of earth and bark embers, and pencil shavings with silky tannins and light oak flavor. A ripe, round, fruit-forward red reminiscent of a nice Amarone.

Red wines in Portugal are often made from the same varieties as those used in the production of Port, such as Touriga Nacional and Tinta Cao. The wines are deeply colored, quite ripe with black fruits, notes of chocolate and peppercorns, and balanced acidity. Prices range from value oriented to expensive, due to limited availability. Pair these reds with hearty foods such as stews, roast pork and pepper steak.
