Region: Alentenjo, Portugal.

Profile: This dark red wine is an intensely flavorful blend of Aragones (Tempranillo), Cabernet Sauvignon, and Trincadeira. The bouquet is rich with red berries, anise and black pepper. The palate is well balanced with many layers of complexity. Initially there is fruitiness followed by notes of mushroom and earth. Rich tannins from the American Heavy Toast Oak spiral and Cabernet Genuwine Winery skins help give this wine a long finish.

Food Pairings: Pair this wine with red meats, chorizo or other cured sausage or a strong cheese.
