Adega Cooperativa de Borba 2008 Premium Red (Alentejo)
- Cellar Selection
Despite its power, the wine presents a fine and rounded elegance. It has richness, impressive fruit and acidity integration and a dense texture. There is a mineral element as well which pushes right through the sweet fruits to add a firmer, more gritty edge. Age for 3–4 years.

An impressive wine, dense and structured, with great concentration of bitter coffee, dark fruits, ripe acidity. The tannins are powerful, embraced by the richness of the fruit. This is a wine that could age 3–4 years.

Adega Cooperativa de Borba 2002 Garrafeira Red (Alentejo)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Only the second garrafeira (the name means special selection) made by the Borba cooperative, this is a serious, complex wine that wears its tannins and rich fruits lightly. The dried fruits, chocolate and edge of bitterness all promise aging potential. There’s a fresh, juicy feel to the aftertaste, before the spice from wood aging kicks back in.

- $15
Rich and smooth wine, with a velvet texture despite the strong core of tannins. The wine is solid, dense, full of black plum and chocolate flavors, layered with fine acidity. It could be aged for one to two years, but is ready to drink.

Adega Cooperativa de Borba 2007 Montes Claros Garrafeira Red (Alentejo)
- Online Exclusive
Produced from old vines on schist soils, this is an intensely structured wine. While it has power, it is the texture and the firm fruit that give it character. Black fruits combine with dark tannins to create a dry, solid aftertaste.

Adega Cooperativa de Borba 2003 Reserva Red (Alentejo)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $14
In homage to a major product of the region, this wine has a cork label. It has considerable power, an old-fashioned, astringent wine that keeps the typical ultradry tannins as a sign of its ability to age. The fruit is definitely in second place here, although there are concentrated black fruits in the background. Age for 3–4 years.
