Purple in color. The nose is dusty with plum. On the palate, one dimensional plums. Tasty. For under $20, there is good value here. Easy drinking. Very modern, fruit forward wine.

This house makes some great wines that are quite expensive. This is there base value wine that retails for around $15. It is a very nice wine for the money as well. Purple/ruby in color though a bit flat. The nose has cranberries and boysenberries. On the palate, the fruit shifts more toward black cherries. Slight tannins. Good finish. Drink over the next five years. Will work with medium and heavier foods.
This is a single vineyard wine from Portugal. It is only made in the best vintages. Garnet in color, opaque and bright. The nose is expressive with black cherries, black olives, spice and a bit of dark chocolate. Full bodied. Light tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, this is tasty. Deep with some complexity. Black cherries, cherries, slight anise and spice. Good finish. This is nice on its own, but better with food. It worked well with a "Mexican" pizza. Drink over the next seven to ten years.
This is and has been a go to value in outstanding wine for a long time now. The winery makes all different price ranges and this one is in the middle. Purple in color, ruby at the rim. The nose has black cherries, slight black olives, spice and a bit of earthiness. On the palate, this is full bodied. It still has light tannins with plenty of black cherry fruit. Lovely texture. Nice finish. It is drinking well but can still probably improve a bit as it gets to peak. Let's say three to five more years until peak and another ten to twelve of prime drinking after that. It drinks well
Purple in color, ruby at the rim. The nose is great with black raspberries, dust and spice and char. This was decanted for a bit before trying. On the palate, there is a great precision here. Lots of black raspberry fruit with dried leaves and charred earth. A bit of tobacco. It is tightly layered but unwinds in the glass. Long finish. A beautiful wine with a bright future.
Ruby/purple in color. The nose is nice with dark cherries, black raspberries and cigar. On the palate, soft dark cherries with good acidity. Tight layering that unwinds in the glass. Lovely texture. Nice finish. Worked well with food. While not quite as good as the Maria Teresa, it is also one third the price. This will probably improve a bit in the cellar and certainly has a nice decade or two left.
