A juicy, spicy wine, packed with open, generous black fruits. The blend of Castelao and Trincadeira gives blackberries, some raisins and a smooth chocolate underlay.——R.V.(4/1/2008)—— 88

A blend of Trincadeira and Castelao, named after a dovecote on the estate, this wine is soft, with smoky tannins and some mature fruit. This is certainly ready to drink, and, with its light, drinkable acidity, goes well with pasta or oily foods. ——R.V.(11/1/2004)—— 85
