Herdade das Servas 2008 Reserva Red (Alentejano)

Cellar Selection

Pitch black wine, densely concentrated, powerful, its wood aging giving shape to the huge fruit and tannins. Ripe black fruits add a juicy character, with a jammy richness complemented by exotic spices. The wine needs five years’ cellaring. — R.V. (11/1/2011)

points

Herdade das Servas 2008 Syrah/Touriga Nacional Red (Alentejano)

Both grapes with tannins and perfumes, Syrah and Touriga Nacional complement each other well. The result is a wine that has a dry core surrounded with exotic fruits, in flavors that range from crystallized violet to herbs to dark plum skins. Age this wine for four years. — R.V. (11/1/2011)

Herdade das Servas 2008 Tinto Red (Alentejano)

The high alcohol gives the wine great richness while still keeping balance. Warm plum jelly and blackberry flavors are well integrated with the wood and spice. With its richness as well as tannins, it should age over 3 years or more. — R.V. (11/1/2011)

Herdade das Servas 2008 Touriga Nacional (Alentejano)

Price $26

While the aromas are earthy, with a farmyard character, the finely textured palate is fruitier. The tannins give a firm, structured base for the red currant flavor. Solid and rich, this is now maturing, but it retains its youthful acidity. — R.V. (10/1/2012)

Best Buy

Price $10

This full bodied white is soft and open. It has good tropical fruit flavors with touches of pineapple and apricot with a bright citrus undertone. It needs a few months to fully integrate into a fine food-friendly wine. — R.V. (6/1/2013)

points

Herdade das Servas 2011 White (Alentejano)

Price $14

This is a very ripe and wood-aged wine, with vanilla flavors pairing with the smooth texture of the rich pear and apricot fruits. There is a touch of pepper from the alcohol that spoils the purity of the fruit. — R.V. (10/1/2012)
