Quinta dos Murças, Douro (Portugal) 2012

Dec 8, 2015

By Michael Apstein

This wine shows precisely why blended reds from Portugal will be taking the market by storm in the coming years.  A big, chunky red, with round, mild softish tannins, it’s similar in size to Malbec, but with far more complexity and interest.  Try it this winter with hearty fare.
