Inspired by the greatest blends in the world, this wine showcases the power of Portuguese Touriga Nacional. The property's 151 acres are spread over the rich clay-limestone soils that dominate the gentle hills of this property. The entire vineyard is dry farmed. These wines are vinified using gravity flow winemaking.
Deep ruby core with aromas of rich black fruit with notes of mint and herbs, wrapped in light spicy notes from the oak. It is a full-bodied, voluminous wine with elegant and smooth tannins
Blend: 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Touriga Nacional, 20% Merlot
93 Wine Enthusiast A blend of Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from dry-farmed vineyards, the wine is concentrated. It has a dark coffee aroma and intense black fruits that have now softened. It is rich and dense, its acidity and tannins still powerful. Drink the wine now. (Dec 2024)
93 James Suckling This is showing lovely berry-fruit character like mulberries and blackcurrants alongside coffee beans, chili-chocolate and wet earth. It’s medium-bodied, supple and well integrated with softened tannins. Cabernet sauvignon, touriga nacional and merlot. Drink now or hold. (Aug 2024)
92 Wine Spectator Aging gracefully, this expressive red is fresh and harmonious. Notes of bay leaf, cedar and espresso are a fragrant overtone for ripe black currant and black olive flavors enmeshed with fine-grained tannins. This shows good focus and length through to the finish of milled pepper and graphite. Cabernet Sauvignon, Touriga Nacional and Merlot. Drink now through 2030. (Nov 2024)
