Solid, drinkable young and perfectly capable of being aged a while, this is a wine for spicy grilled meats up to linguica level. Again, the judges have rewarded structure, balance, and layered aromas and flavors that fit the profile. That’s why they’re the judges. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Monterey International Wine Competition.
