Cortes de Cima 2001 Reserva Red (Alentejano)
- Editors' Choice
This is a beautifully crafted wine, full of sweet tannins, spice flavors and dark perfumes. A blend of Syrah and Aragonês, it shows elegance and power. The wood flavors from the French and American wood aging are kept restrained and in the background to the intense fruit and herbs.

Cortes de Cima 2003 Reserva Red (Alentejano)
- Online Exclusive
- $58
Made from a selection of the best parcels in the Cortes de Cima vineyard, this is a heady blend of raisins, dark plums and firm, dark tannins. It layers superripe, almost sweet, concentrated flavors along with a core of dryness that stops the wine being too jammy, and gives it a splendid structure. A blend of Syrah, Aragonez and Touriga Nacional.

Cortes de Cima 2004 Reserva Red (Alentejano)

Cortes de Cima 2008 Petit Verdot (Alentejano)
- Online Exclusive
- $44
It is rare to find a pure Petit Verdot (the grape used in some blends in Bordeaux) anywhere, let alone in Portugal. The Alentejo is a good place, with guaranteed ripeness for this fickle grape. Dark in color, packed with dense tannins and a heavy layer of wood, this is not for the faint-hearted. It is certainly ripe and rich.
