This blend of two native Portuguese varietals and two typical French ones makes an exception wine. SMOOTH is the word. From Portugal castelao and touriga franca speak to the sensibilities of typical Portuguese reds while the syrah and cabernet sauvignon (French native grapes) are more familiar to American audiences and the broader global market. Syrah lends the smoothness and Cabernet the structure. It also shows supple fruit. A winner. Take one bottle each day to improve enjoyment of all life's pleasures, with dinner or on its own.
