Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

If you are looking for new experience and discovery, I highly recommend the Jose de Souca 2016, from the Jose Maria da Fonseca Winery. Harvested in the Alentejano region in Portugal, the wine expresses aromas of sour plum, date, earl grey tea, bread, tobacco, cocoa and oak. Blended from 58% Grand Noir, 22% Trincadeira and 20% Aragones, the wine delivers a fruity mouthfeel and delicious acidity. The finish is long and progressive, making this wine a never-ending story. Palate: black plum, black raspberry, bay leaf, graphite, caramel, chocolate and oak. Enjoy!
Produced by José Maria da Fonseca, José De Sousa 2016 is a full-bodied, layered red wine blend of Grand Noir, Trincadeira and Aragonêz wine grapes. Rich and spicy on the palate with dried fig fruit, plum, dried sweet tobacco leaf and vanilla flavours with a lingering mineral finish on the palate. Great value under $20. Pair with bison burgers and tourtière. - Community Wine Reviews
