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

Cabernet Sauvignon
FULL-BODIED, RASPBERRY, BLACK PLUM, CHERRY COLA, COCOA DUST, CEDAR, OAK
Elegant and concentrated, ‘Rassi’ is a remarkably well-made and well-balanced Cabernet for such an affordable price-point — with lush, dark and jammy fruit; plush, ultra-fine tannins; and a long-lasting finish which highlights subtle, oak-derived flavors, including cedar, cocoa, and hints of vanilla and brioche.
