Terra Grande 2006

February 15, 2008 View

Trincadeira and Aragonez with 13.5% Alcohol. Dark crimson with a powerful black pepper nose. Over the course of an hour, the wine showed more blackberry, herbal and wet earth aromas. Medium to high acidity with velvety fine tannins. Needs a bit more body to counter the watery texture. Nice wine! 3.5/5 August 27, 2007 View

Terra Grande - Alentejo Goanvi 2006 13.5% Deeep red color with a nose that first whiff reminds me of a California Zinfandel. Black raspberry and clove spice, mint,not overly complex but very inviting. A Portuguese zin, overall nice fruit, not quite enough body to support the med-high acid but the fine firm tannins balance well. Rasp/black rasp on the palate a bit thin overall but probably a good grilled pork wine. 3/5 August 11, 2007 View
