The 2009 Portal is composed of 40% Garnacha, 20% Carinena, with the balance Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon aged in barrel for 6 months. The nose exhibits a slightly roasted character along with damp earth, fresh herbs, mineral, floral, and black fruit aromas. This is followed by a savory, spicy, medium-bodied red with good volume and a fruit-filled finish. It is a good value for drinking over the next 4-5 years.
