Prieure St. Flaurent Reserve

"Borgoforte is a small village in the middle of our Estate that proved too strong to conquer. Like our new red wines, it symbolizes the resilient and charming character of the Tuscans. This wine is made in the “Super – Tuscan” style by adding Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes to the classical grape of Tuscany, Sangiovese. Each year we add selected wines to the blend to bring subtle complexity and richness without losing the flavor of the traditional wines of Tuscany. Grapes picked at optimum ripeness ensure a wine which expresses itself in its ripe black fruit components and full body. A true reflection of flavours which are a marriage of our soils under the Tuscan sun. For smooth body and elegance, the wine is aged in small oak barrels." —winemaker

Blend: 50% Sangiovese, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot

"65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc from 40+ year old vines planted in clay and gravel. Classically rendered, dusty, balanced, thoroughly delicious “baby claret.”" —importer

"Chateau de Lavagnac presents an elegant dark red hue in the glass. The harmonious and balanced palate unfolds with exquisite notes of red fruits, accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla and delicate spices. Supported by flexible tannins, the pleasant flavor base adds to the overall appeal of this wine. The fresh and intense fruity aroma, accented by nuances of oak and spice, enhances the sensory experience, contributing to the wine's overall quality and complexity." —winemaker

"Casa Américo Alfrocheiro 2018 wine is a monovarietal wine, 100% from the Alfrocheiro variety, one of the main grape varieties in the Dão region, Portugal. This variety produces wines rich in color, with firm but delicate and structuring tannins. Coming from the vineyards of Quinta do Paço, with about 25 years, located in the sub-region of Serra da Estrela, Dão region. This Casa Américo Alfrocheiro wine shows a ruby color with aromas of black plum, peat and hints of pine. In the mouth it is dense, with firm but delicate tannins." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review-One of the hidden gems from this past year for me. An un-oaked red from Portugal that really allows the grape to show itself off. Savory with compote fruit flavors, this is a red that can handle a slight chill before drinking. Also an excellent food wine, enjoy this with freshly grilled red snapper and peppers. Cheers!
