Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Lovely aromas and flavours of black plum, black cherry and cassis notes, along with dried herbs, hung game and leather. 90 Points.
Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Garnet colour. Quite floral, especially fresh cut rose stems and crushed violets. Three grape blend of Portuguese varieties. Blackcurrant liqueur with ripe blackberry and cassis. Tannins and acidity give the option of drinking now with decanting or holding off into the early 2020's. Pairing with red meats or wild game will elevate any dinner.
Herdade Da Pimenta 2013 is a full-bodied and robust red wine blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Alicante Bouschet form the Alentejano Wine Region. Look for dark ripe fruit, savoury herbs and spice on this juicy red. Pair with grilled burgers. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
