Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

It's and intense, inky and flavourful value-priced wine! Black plum, anise, and floral galore. Lovely ripe fruit flavours complemented with high acidity and smooth tannins. A superb BBQ red! Tasted May 2017 by @sommsosa | bepsoketastings.ca
Wineboy rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Some subtlety to the aromas here plus a nice medium weight of black very ripe fruit. Medium level of tannins.
From Vinho Regional Alentejano, Portas da Herdage Reserva (2014) is a great value, full-bodied Portuguese red wine with blackberry liqueur aromas on the nose and palate. Pair with prime rib. This inky red is a blend of Syrah, Alicante Bouschet and Aragonez wine grapes from vineyards in the Douro, Lisboa and Beira. - Community Wine Reviews
