Companhia das Quintas 2008 Quinta de Pancas Grande Escolha Red (Lisboa)

Cellar Selection

Price $39

Intense and rich, an impressive wine that has concentrated fruit while also giving a dense, firmly full-bodied structure. This great wine is certainly worth aging for 5–6 years. — R.V. (8/1/2011)

Companhia das Quintas 2005 Quinta de Pancas Grande Escolha Red (Estremadura)

Online Exclusive

Price $25

Despite its four years’ aging, this is still young. The Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend (with Touriga Nacional and Petit Verdot) sees to that, producing the tightly textured tannins. The wine sits foursquare on structure, the fruit still behind. Wait 2–3 years. — R.V. (12/15/2009)

Companhia das Quintas 2005 Morgado Santa Catherina Arinto (Bucelas)

Best Buy

Price $14

Pure Arinto from the Lisbon region, this wood-aged wine is delicious and Chardonnay-like in its richness, with great swathes of apples and cream flavors, layered with toast. This is a great advertisement for a neglected region in Portugal’s viticulture. — R.V. (4/1/2008)

Companhia das Quintas 2006 Fronteira Selecçao de Enólogo Red (Douro)

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $15

Douro power shows with this wine. It has great concentration, a density of texture that goes right through all the dark fruits, the dusty tannins and the layers of wood. Spice and bitter chocolate add to the range of flavors, while acidity has the last word. — R.V. (12/15/2009)

Companhia das Quintas 2007 Fronteira Selecção de Enólogo Red (Douro)

Editors' Choice

Price $16

From vineyards in the Douro Superior, this is a powerful wine showing its rugged terroir, with dark fruit and tannin, hints of wood aging and packed, concentrated flavors. From a great Douro vintage, this is worth cellaring over 3–4 years. — R.V. (8/1/2011)

Companhia das Quintas 2005 Quinta de Pancas Reserva Touriga Nacional (Estremadura)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $20

A brooding, powerful wine, concentrating perfumed fruit with black berry juice and dark tannins. It does have acidity to balance all the power and richness, but this is a big, solid wine with density of flavor. — R.V. (12/15/2009)

Companhia das Quintas 2008 Quinta da Fronteira Reserva Red (Douro)

Cellar Selection

Big, wood-dominated wine. Black chocolate joins with sweet plums and toast for both elegance and balance. It is still young, the structure needing 3–4 years to really soften and show its more opulent character. — R.V. (11/1/2011)

Companhia das Quintas 2008 Quinta da Fronteira Grande Escolha Red (Douro)

Cellar Selection

Price $45

Like other wines in the Fronteira range, this is certainly powerful. It is also ripely smooth, its dark tannins wrapped in a velvet, dusty texture and ripe plum juice fruits. Important, complex wine. — R.V. (8/1/2011)
