An equal blend of Baga and Touriga Nacional grapes harvested on the same day from a mixed vineyard and co-fermented, ‘Doravante’ inherited the very best traits from each of its parents, resulting in a wine as precise and powerful as it is fresh, with delicate fruit, very fine tannins, and a lasting finish. It’s a rare wine that can certainly be enjoyed young (now) or held for potentially as long as decade (if you can wait!).

Traditionally styled Rioja from the Pérez-Villota family's 100ha estate in DOCa Rioja Alavesa (just 50 miles south of the vineyards in Basque Country, this is the smallest and northernmost sub-region of Rioja) ... 'Selvanevada' is elegant and balanced, with complex aromatics and a lively and colorful but clean palate of dark berry fruit, sweet spice (nutmeg, cinnamon), dried herbs, subtle oak, and dense, dusty tannins.
Drink tonight & every night, or hold until ~2029.

FULL-BODIED, BLACK CHERRY, TAR, FRESH HERBS, EARTH NEUTRAL OAK
‘Sacris’ could definitely benefit from some more bottle age in order to let its tannins soften up a bit (FYI, Sagrantino has the thickest skin of any other wine grape in the world)...it also has the right balance and structure to age long and gracefully, and just happens to be the first-ever 100% Sagrantino made in Oregon. Conclusion: ‘Sacris’ might make a very cool, unique bottle to collect & cellar (until 2028-2060)!

MED-BODIED, STRAWBERRY, BLACK CHERRY, ORANGE PEEL, LICORICE, EARTH, USED OAK
The complex, elegant, and even — dare we say it — Burgundian (??) wines of Vitor Claro and Rita Ferreira at Dominó Winery come from a small, old vine vineyard of co-planted varietals in the Portalegre district of Alentejo, which is known for its uniquely cool climate in an otherwise warm region. ‘Salão Frio’ is their first — and, to date, most important — wine. A true pleasure to drink, it pairs well with a remarkable range of flavors, and is blessedly only about 11% alcohol (because just one glass is certainly not enough).ECOLOGY: Sustainable
