The Cabriz Colheita Selecionada 2019 breezes in at $14.95 a welcome price point in these inflationary times. I contemplate with some trepidation what it might cost next year.
It is a blend of 40% Alfrocheiro Preto, 40% Tinta Roriz and 20% Touriga Nacional and was aged in French oak for 6 months.
On the nose some bright raspberry shimmers upwards leaving behind a solid base of blackberry and black cherry. On the palate an easy drinking wine with some gentle tannins creating a bit of a dusty wine. It is a solid wine with a firmness that best suits food. I recall my last media trip to the Dão enjoying this wine in Viseu accompanied by a few slices of grilled tomahawk steak. Sublime.
Drink now or hold until the end of 2023.
