Symington Family Estates, The Wine Society's Generation Series Douro Red, Douro, Portugal 2019

Intense, luscious fruit dominates this blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Alicante Bouschet produced by the Symington family for The Wine Society. The dark plum, bramble and blueberry rest on a fresh, earthy layer of forest floor and wet tobacco leaves. With a nod to traditional Douro, there's a pleasant rusticity here, in counterpoint to the perfumed depth. Enveloping, lingering mote of petrichor.
