Quinta de Sao Francisco 2014
PortugalDeep, ripe black cherry, wild blackberry, cola, twine and herbal plum in this plush blend of castelao, aragonez, and touriga nacional from Óbidos, on the fresh Atlantic coast of Portual. There's a dusky, musk perfume that pervades this dense wine, one held in check with a line of acidity and is hemmed in with fuzzy tannins to a dark cocoa finish. This wine spent ten months in a blend of French and American oak to build structure. At only 13.5 degrees, and with some age on it, this is a welcome alternative to boozier, riper and heftier Portuguese reds.Tasted: 23 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $31.99 | 750ml | private wine stores |
