A review of Encostas Do Duro for Weekend Wine Reviews # 336.
Encostas Do Douro, Douro Doc, 2014, Caves Velhas. Wine Awesomeness. They say: comprised of 35% Touriga-Nacional, 35% Tinta-Roriz, 30% Touriga_Franca. The Douro region isn't just for port! With evidence that wine making existed in the region in 4000 BCE, it is one of the oldest wine making regions in the world. This Portuguese blend is an anytime of the year wine. Energized raspberries, crunchy minerals, the smell that comes off the lake as you watch a sunset on the dock, freshly bloomed lush cherry blossoms and inky lavender notes. We say: Very nice! Lot's going on, long complex finish. Lots of fruit, raspberries. Enjoyed it!
