Quinta dos Roques 2007 Reserva Red (Dão)
-
$29
Intense and concentrated, full of fruit, tannic structure and richness. It comes from a fine vintage and shows the ripe fruit, rich berry and red plum character, along with a more austere, ageworthy edge. A very fine wine, and one worth keeping for 5–6 years.

$26
A closed, dark, tight wine, with an austere, mineral character, that obviously needs considerable aging. Smoky, meaty, dark tannins are dominant here, the black berry fruit showing through the powerful structure. Keep for 3–4 years.

Quinta dos Roques 2003 Garrafeira Red (Dão)
-
$45
Garrafeira in Portugal means a special selection, and this wine, from low yielding vines, has an impressive concentration. Its dark chocolate and mature spice flavors are just part of a powerfully fruity wine, all dark plum skins and sweet acidity. Ready to drink now, but could age.

Quinta dos Roques 2000 Garrafeira Red (Dão)
-
$39
The idea of a Garrafeira is a special selection, and this wine from Quinta dos Roques, with its smooth, rich tannins and intense fruit flavors, is certainly special. Aged in wood for 13 months, it is packed with ripe black fruits, leaving sweet acidity and a dry aftertaste. Has good aging potential.

A hearty, ripe wine, packed with flavors of green plums, layers of wood, spice and a complex herbal character. This is rich, intense and full-bodied, great with food. Imported by Wine Worth LLC.
