Vale do Bomfim Douro 2014
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalVale do Bomfim is owned by the Symington family, and the wine is from grapes of Upper Douro vineyards that have traditionally gone to the port house of Dow. The move to dry table wines is new, and welcome, as the market for port wines is lagging and interest in dry white and red table wines of the Douro is soaring. This is full of the Douro: dark plum, dusky wild blackberry, thorns, rock roses on a medium bodied, wild palate. Compact, yet lively on its feet, this counters intensity with a swell of acidity, to an espresso powder finish. Charming yet serious, this is an ideal drink-now red for wine folks wanting a mid-week sipper with their lamb stew or grilled pork.Tasted: 26 January 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $15.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
