It's hard to believe this Touriga Nacional-dominant blend from vines of 120 years old is the entry-level wine from Sandra Tavares da Silva. Complex and ageworthy, it has well-integrated oak and vibrant acidity, with an elegant but forward palate of juicy wild cherries, violets, sweet spice and an earthy depth.
