WineDiva's Review

Generous, drinkable, value.
This blend of the Portuguese Castelao and Touriga Nacional varieties also has the addition of Syrah. It comes from the peninsula of Setubal, near Lisbon.
It offers amazing value and is both rustic and modern. Sweet and sweaty; plummy flavours are woven with bruised cherries, cocoa and sarsaparilla, dried rose petals and leather. There is generous sweet fruit on the palate; cherries and black raspberry, vanilla, baking spices and pipe tobacco. It's modern, bordering on jammy but is exceedingly drinkable.
