Messias 2007 Triunvirato No 2 Red (Vinho da Mesa)

With fruit from three Portuguese regions including Dâo and Douro, this herbal and mint- dominated wine is a blend of Touriga Nacional and Syrah. It has elegance, a touch of spice from wood, sweet juicy damson fruits and a lingering finish.

Messias 2008 Dados Reserva Red (Douro)
- Best Buy
- $15
A partnership between Portuguese and Spanish winemakers, this is an impressive wine, powered by ripe fruit, solid tannins and a dense texture. It is serious, the structure important, and it needs aging.

Messias 2004 Quinta do Cachão Grande Escolha Red (Douro)
- Best Buy
- $15
A powerful, punchy wine that brings richness along with acidity to a blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barocca and Tinta Roriz. The smoothness of the surface hides firm, dusty tannins, with wild fig and dark plum flavors.

Messias 2007 Dados Reserva Red (Douro)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $14
A blend of winemaking philosophies from Portuguese João Soares and Spaniard Javier Rodriguez, both working along the Duero/Douro river. There may be a hint of smooth Tempranillo in the Tinta Roriz in the blend, but mostly this has a full burst of vivid Portugese tannins and bold black fruit. It should be aged for 2–3 years.

A wonderfully brooding, tannic wine that offers huge structure along with richness, dark plum skin fruit flavors and a tense mineral and flint texture. Obviously for aging over 4–5 years. Imported by Luiz’s Grocery And Liquors.

Messias 2007 Vintage Port (Port)
- Online Exclusive
Dusty berry aromas with a box hedge herbal character. The fruit is smooth, toasty, the tannin lost in the sweet fruit, black fig and jelly flavors. It’s a delight to drink now, but unlikely to last.

Messias 2003 Grande Escolha Red (Douro)
- $15
A fine, firm, structured wine that shows richness along with elegance. Fresh, black fruits ride over dry tannins and acidity, allowing this to be a food-friendly wine that could benefit from some aging. To finish, the lifted, vibrant fruits leave a ripe, clean taste.

Messias 2009 Quinta do Cachão Reserva Red (Douro)

Dense, sweet-fruited wine, its delicious black cherry fruits laced with minerality and acidity. The tannins are very present and it needs some years’ aging.
