A terrific value, Casa da Alorna’s 2003 Colheita Seleccionada is a darkly colored wine imbued with a round, lush mouthfeel and long, velvety finish. Slightly herbal (mint?) and meaty notes add complexity to black cherry and plum flavors. A blend of Castelão (Periquita), Trincadeira and Tinta Miúda.
