May Top Pick!
Cartuxa 2022 EA Vinho Tinto • Alentejano, Portugal • Reg $15.99 | Mixed Case $12.79
Blend = Aragonez 35%, Trincadeira 20%, Alicante Bouchet 20%, Syrah 15%, Castelao 10%. Smells a little like Rhône. Black & red berries, a little wild strawberry, garrigue (although they don’t have that??). Flavors are darker… black cherries, black plums, blackberries with herbal, earthy notes. That wine is on it!! Good acidity. Not super dry. More fruit. Fuller-bodied for the price. Fun to drink. Enjoyed with corn tortilla, sliced flank steak, olive tapenade, red cabbage slaw.
