Casca Wines 2009 Monte Cascas Grand Reserva Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $38
A powerful, full-bodied and rich wine. Its tannins are already well balanced, layered within the dense black fruit. The wood aging brings hints of bitter chocolate and spice to go with its impressive fruit. This is a wine for aging over the next 4–5 years.

Casca Wines 2008 Monte Cascas Reserva Red (Alentejano)
- Editors' Choice

- $24
A wine that blends intense acidity with a rich and dense texture to give a fruit and mineral driven wine. The flavors come from plums, taut tannins to create a wine that is firmly structured as well as concentrated.

Casca Wines 2008 Monte Cascas Malvasia (Colares)
- $79
Wines from the windswept vineyards of Colares, where vines are planted almost in the sand, are rare. This Malvasia is fascinating, a wine that has perfumes, a touch of spice and kumquat as well as smoky acidity. Much more than a curiosity.

Casca Wines 2008 Monte Cascas Grande Reserva White (Douro)
- $41
Lush yellow fruits shimmy through the toast character of this wine. It is certainly rich and full, but structured with a good dose of acidity. This is ripe, rich, suggesting increasing complexity in the next few years.

Casca Wines 2007 Cape Roca Lighthouse Red (Douro)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Big, bold wine, with few concessions, this is richly fruity, its ripe fruits bolstered by tannins. The pepper from the alcohol does intrude, giving an overheated feel to what is otherwise a powerful, fruit-driven wine.

Casca Wines 2007 Cape Roca Boat Red (Douro)
- $26
As an addition to the Cape Roca range, this is impressive. It has weight and richness, accompanied with firm tannins, a solid core of dryness and blackberry fruits.
