Companhia das Quintas 2012 Quinta do Cardo Red (Beira Interior)

Country: Portugal / Quinta do Cardo
Variety: Portuguese Red Beira Interior
Winery: Companhia das Quintas /

With its dark color and firm tannins, this dense wine from 2,000-foot-high vineyards belies its light alcohol to give rich structure. It is fresh as well, with black currant juiciness coming through the spice and structure. It’s still young, juicy and needs to age. Drink from 2015.
