Quinta De La Rosa

Stella Rosa

IL Conte Stella Berry (L'Originale) Semi-Sweet Brachetto Blend

Excellent summer wine. Serve chilled. Very light and fruity. — a month ago

Rosa dell'Olmo

Barolo Nebbiolo 2022

This wine looks like a rosato, lightly tinted for a red wine. The nose offers bright cherry and lilac scents. On the palate, juicy and vibrant red fruit are a delight, while the acidity is refreshing and the tannins are medium-firm. It finishes medium, with plenty of fruity reminders of the sip. With summer on the way, keep this one in mind if you need a light red to chill for the patio. — 2 months ago

Quinta do Vallado

Douro Touriga Nacional 2014

Strong red fruit in the nose with a touch of smokey oak. Raspberry and red cherry with a touch of leather and violet opens into round tannins with a dry medium mouth feel. The finish is long with good tannins settling into a touch of maduro style cigar and fennel seed. Very enjoyable and I recommend decanting this bottle. — 2 months ago

Quinta do Vesuvio (Symington)

Vintage Porto Port Blend 1991

[8-hour decant] Ripe, rich, very youthful still, with a noticeable tannic backbone, but also shows a sweet palate (think Graham’s/Fonseca, though the Symington family owns Graham’s, Dow’s, Warre’s and Cockburn’s, among others??), this should easily evolve/improve another 10-20 years, very long finish, outstanding vintage Porto, super long finish!! — 6 months ago

Quinta do Noval

Colheita Tawny Porto 2000

My last dram after a month open. Pretty awesome and complex. The sweetness arrived after a week, and now it’s this marmalade, toffee, fruit cake melange. Alcohol is present but in a warming winter spiced wine kind of way. — 7 months ago

Very interesting style of Cab Franc. Robust and fill of dark fruited notes though still balanced, perhaps due to age. — 7 months ago

One of the best California Pinots I’ve had. Red fruit, tobacco, and pepper, oaky and savory with spot-on body and balance. Excellent value at Costco — a month ago

Quinta de Baixo

Lagar de Baixo Bairrada Baga

Light bodied red, raspberries, some savory notes in the finish akin to Oregon Pinot Noirs. The nose is timid, but the acids carry this. — a month ago

Quinta do Noval

Noval Black Porto Port Blend

Black a new blend produced from classic varieties that do not make it into the Quinta do Noval vintage. Deep Ruby red color with pronounced aromas of berry fruits, spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, spice, leather and smoke. Long finish, full bodied, smooth tannins, ending with fruit, cacao and tobacco notes. Nice. — 5 months ago
