This is dry red wine from the Douro region of Portugal is made from the varieties used to make Port: Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional.
There is nothing shy about this wine. It has a very deep color and expressive aromas that are both elegant and powerful. Flowers, red and black fruits. Firm in the middle but flavors emerge nicely on the finish. I don't detect any oak, but the fruit tannins should carry this wine a long way. At $5 a bottle, how can you go wrong?
