2007 Prazo De Roriz Douro Doc, $17 Portugal
This is a terrific wine for the spring and summer, pairing perfectly with grilled steaks and chicken or even grilled vegetables drizzled with Balsamic vinegar. Aromas of vanilla beans and ripe black plums fill the glass and carry into the taste perfectly. Once the wine hits the mouth the fireworks begin, layers of black cherries, creamy vanilla, oak notes, and earthiness take over the taste buds. One the finish bright red fruits start to show and combine with the soft oak notes and hints of spice. This is a nice complex wine that is drinkable now, a terrific buy.
