The aromas are on the rustic side for this simple, fresh wine. To taste, the juicy fruit offers a good barbecue wine, with its soft but dry tannins and bright red berry fruit flavors. Drink now.——R.V.(11/1/2008)—— 84

Reasonably complex for a modestly priced table wine, with intriguing notes of wintergreen, birchbeer, mushrooms and beet root. For some tastes, it could use a stronger fruit component, but despite that it’s supple enough on the palate to charm. Finishes crisp, with some tart berry flavors. A blend of Trincadeira, Aragones and Alfrocheiro.——J.C.(11/1/2006)—— 86
