The 2003 “Grande Reserva” (Vertice) is a blend of Touriga Nacional (35%), Tinta Roriz (35%) and Touriga Franca (30%) raised in French oak for 36 months, and unfiltered. Purple in color, the wine looks youthful and frothy. The oak softens the texture, but in the mid-palate the wine has pointed berry notes. The finish is sweet at first, but after aeration, it rounds into form, eventually finishing with austerity, as the tannins and alcohol take over. The tannins provide a considerable grip on the finish. At the price, it is a tasty wine that a lot of folks will like. Drink 2007-2012. This winery was founded in 1988 by Jack Davies of Schramsberg, the noted Napa sparkling wine producer. Although they focus on sparkling wine, they began to make dry, still wine in 1999.Importer: V.O.S. Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 967-6948
