Silky, deep, dark and plush, a superb value from the Portuguese countryside. If you love Napa Cabernet you will absolutely fall for this bargain red!

Some of the best value wines coming across our palates these days hail from the once backwater regions of Portugal, a country making leaps and bounds in terms of wine quality and especially value.

Today’s wine from the Tejo region, until 2009 named Ribatejo, located in the central part of the country around the Tejo river, captures the sunny, warm climate and mostly indigenous grape varieties to offer a seriously deep, layered, complex wine that makes me think twice about spending 2-3 times more on a California Cabernet.

It’s a blend of Touriga Nacional, Castelao, Aragonez, Trincadeira, all local varieties, and a dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s harvested by hand, fermentation takes place in wooden vats, followed by 18 months in French oak, some new, some second year.

The result is a simply delicious, plush, round red wine with aromas of black fruits, wild blackberries, plum, spices and dried herbs. Soft on the palate, with soft and complex tannins. Red fruits blend in the structure with elegance and finishes with an array of black fruits.

Come in and pairing it up with the classic Perryville Burger, our Hanger Steak with Fingerling Potatoes, Spinach, and Chimichurri Sauce, our Berkshire Pork Chop with honeycrisp apple, swiss chard, king trumpet, and cider jus, and it’s also perfect with a traditional Thanksgiving menu!
