Mouchão 2002 Red (Alentejano)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $46
The legendary Mouchão, one of Portugal’s most revered wines, has finally made it to this country. Made in traditional open stone fermenters, this is not a modern wine. It’s a wine, whose dark tannins and dense fruits demand attention and time.

A smooth wine, all its structure encased in warm black fruit and toast. It develops slowly in the mouth, revealing sweet tannins and opulent juiciness. The acidity is an equally warming addition to the final spice character. Age for 3–4 years.  — R.V.  (11/1/2011)

Beautifully rich and smooth, with mint and new wood aromas, and fresh spice. All this goes with intense, serious structure, black fruits and concentrated tannins. The wine is a powerhouse of intensity, with a great medium-term aging capacity (5–8 years).  — R.V.  (12/15/2010)

Herdade da Malhadinha Nova 2007 Malhadinha Tinto Red (Alentejano)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $90
The estate wine of Malhadinha Nova is a serious proposition. With its firm, restrained tannins and dark, complex fruits, the latest vintage from this star estate is a wine for aging. It is powerful, but doe not lose its inspired elegance.  — R.V.  (4/1/2010)

Luis Duarte 2009 Rubrica Red (Alentejano)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $33
Famed consultant Luis Duarte now produces a range of wines under his own name. This Rubrica is, as you would expect, beautifully made with the ripest of fruit and a juicy character from the Alicante Bouschet in the blend. It is powerful, packed with tannins, deserving several years’ aging.  — R.V.  (11/1/2011)
