The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon / Touriga Franca is a fairly attractive wine with excellent structure for its price range and good flavors. It has some intensity and focus, an elegant, well crafted mid-palate, and red berry nuances. It is a bit fuller than, say, the Palha Canas reviewed here. It can age gracefully for a few years. It is a nice value, although not your garden variety blend. Drink 2007-2012. 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.
