Yea or Nay:
Scoop: Another fun one from NakedWines. I have never heard of Trincadeira or Aragonez grapes before but I love blends and it came highly rated by other NakedWine members. This was a really nice blend and since I don’t know the typical characteristics of those two grapes, I can only tell you from my perspective this is a deep colored blend that has all kinds of fruit that stood out. The nose was pretty good and the wine has all kinds of complexity with these varietals.
For $9.99 it’s a steal. Available from www.nakedwines.com.
NOTE: To be completely transparent, clicking that link will get you your $100 off but it also gives me a $40 credit for the next time I purchase.
Until next time…
