Casa Cadaval 2007 Marquesa de Cadaval Red (Tejo)
- Cellar Selection
- $25
New wood gives this wine a polished feel, its berry fruits pushing through dense tannins. It is balanced in the sense that fruit and wood are coming well together, but this impressive wine needs several years’ aging.

Fiuza 2008 Ikon Chardonnay/Trincadeira White (Tejo)
- $25
Aromatic, tropical textured wine. Great flavors of ripe pineapple and mango balance with more green fruit characters and a twist of lime. The wood flavors are well restrained, offering just a touch of final spice.

Fiuza 2008 Ikon Touriga Nacional (Tejo)
- Cellar Selection
- $35
An obviously new-wood-aged wine, with a modern mint flavor and sweet wood tannins. It is very structured, still young, its spice and dark chocolate flavor going well with the black fruits. Age this complex wine for 3–4 years.

Casa Cadaval 2007 Padre Pedro Reserva Red (Tejo)
- $18
Selected fruit and longer barrel aging are the hallmarks of this Reserva. With its bright mint flavors, well integrated into the firm tannins and plum skin fruits, this is a wine ready to age.

Fiuza 2009 Premium Chardonnay/Fernão Pires White (Tejo)
- $22
Fine, subtle wood here, with acidity that sits well with the melon, greengage and green plum juiciness. The wine has a great layer of spice, and a rich aftertaste.

João Teodosio Matos Barbosa 2007 Ninfa Escolha Red (Tejo)
With some Syrah in the blend, the wine has a fine perfumed character. The fruit is stylish, with juicy blackberry flavors, laced with coffee, spicy toast, dusty tannins and delicious acidity. To age over 5–6 years.

Falua 2008 Conde de Vimioso Reserva Red (Tejo)
- $25
Always an impressive wine, this latest Reserva of Conde de Vimioso is deceptively smooth, packed with ripe and juicy black fruits. It’s deceptive because under the velvet surface there are powerful tannins at work. The result is a wine for aging over several years.

Quinta da Alorna 2008 Reserva Touriga Nacional-Cabernet Sauvignon (Tejo)
- Cellar Selection
- $18
Wood-aged, well balanced and firmly structured, this is concentrated while also elegant. The wine has a dense, dusty tannic character along with ripe berry and plum skin flavors. Age this impressive wine for another three years.
