The 2009 "Monte Do Castanheiro" is a blend of Aragonez, Trincadeira and Tinta Caiada with a dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 12 months in used French oak. Pure and fragrant, it is nicely balanced, with soft tannins. It is a little light in the mid-palate with little concentration and a bit short on the finish. However, it is quite gracious and charming, juicy and simply delicious. This elegant and graceful wine should be early maturing, and I suspect it will not hold at peak all that long, but while young and fresh, its purity and juicy fruit will make Zambujeiro a lot of friends.
