Trincadeira (a k a Tinta Amarela in the Douro) produces great spicy, juicy wines in central Portugal. This is fresh, with soft tannins and easy, ripe fruit; it can put many New World wines to shame. Drink and enjoy. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA). — (3/1/2006) —87

The wine has firm, ripe sweet fruit with some good red fruit flavors. It is juicy, but there is also some barnyard earthiness, typical of Trincadeira on its own. —R.V.——R.V.(12/31/2002)—— 85
