Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of juicy raspberries, tart plums, with hints of beets, cedar, and violet.

Flavours of sour cherries, black pepper and espresso. It is full bodied with structured tannins and a nice long finish.

Jane Staples rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A blend of Franca Touriga, Franca Nacional and Tinta Roriz, from Portugal's spectacular Douro River valley, a World Heritage Site. Aromatic with concentrated dark berry and plum flavours and finely woven vanilla, sweet spice and sous bois. Consistent excellent value in Portuguese reds. Enjoy with hearty meat casseroles, stews and hard cheeses.

Natalie's Review

Andreza Reserva 2014, Douro D.O.C., Portugal: Juicy and full-bodied with rich aromas of fleshy black plums, blackberries and smoke. Relatively polished in texture on the palate. On the Douro River, river bends are called "voltas" and all have individual names. The Volta of Andreza is one of the most beautiful, and this wine is named for it. The two winemakers Joao Silva e Sousa and Francisco Baptisto work with vines planted at a high altitude, which gives more structure to the wine than those grapes grown closer to the river. This is a blend of traditional varieties: Touriga Nacional and Touriga Roriz. Half the wine was aged in French and American oak barrels. There is no filtration, clarification or stabilization of this wine. Pair with hearty meat dishes. Drink: 2018-2022. 616911 13.50% XD 750 mL $16.95 Score: 90/100. March 17, 2018 Best Value Red Wine.
