The 2004 Quinta De Bons-Ventos is the cheapest wine in this lineup, and not a bad deal, even though there are some obvious compromises. The flavors are simple, almost a little artificial, tinged with a bit of bubblegum. The wine is light. I will say, though, that it doesn’t have the same eccentricities as some of the other blends, and it has an appealing texture. It would be an acceptable party wine. Drink now-2008. This producer turns out a bevy of value-priced wines, both as single varietals and in somewhat unusual combinations (like Pinot Noir/Touriga Nacional). The owner says, “We look for complementary combinations, and in this particular case, by marrying the Pinot Noir with the Touriga Nacional, the velvet and smoothness of the Pinot softened the tannins of Touriga and on the other hand the Touriga Nacional contributed with a good structure, body and colour to the blend.” Some seem rather eccentric, but the best of them have rather good structure for their price ranges and offer fair values, as the winery has a commendable desire to provide something more than inexpensive fruit bombs.Importers: Tri-Vin Imports, Mt.
