Volteface, Alentejo (Portugal) 2017

Dec 9, 2020

By Miranda Franco

 With a year of French wood aging, this rich, structured wine has a spicy edge to go with the generous black fruits and rich tannins.  It is driven by concentration, a voluptuous texture, and a powerful finish.  The palate is loaded with dark fruits, depth, and character.  Made from Alicante Bouschet (70%) and Syrah (30%), it is a big wine but light on its feet.  Do not sleep on this one!
