Claudia's red wine is a tribute to Portugal. This blend of Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Nacional beautifully expresses notes of ripe red and black fruits. The tannins are supple, and the oak is well-integrated. The fresh finish evokes the foothills of the Douro Valley. An invitation to travel!

About the wine:
The 2015 Claudia's Reserve is a blend of 42% Touriga Franca, 29% Touriga Nacional, and 29% Tinta Roriz, aged for 12 months in second-fill French oak barrels. It has an alcohol content of 14%. This year’s vintage is simply enchanting. Its style is reminiscent of a “summer red,” thanks to its fruity and sun-kissed character—which is typical of this vintage. That said, despite its lively flavor and fresh, spicy mouthfeel, it also has a certain structure, with moderately ripe tannins that provide support. Add to that a silky texture, elegance, and perfect balance. It can be enjoyed right now—even if it’s a bit tight, it’s still delicious. It will be even better in about a year. For me, this is the best Claudia’s Reserve I’ve ever tasted. Once that burst of savory fruit has faded, will it continue to be just as interesting? That question remains to be seen. However, it’s so appealing this year that I have to focus on it for now.

"A dense, tannic wine. Black fruit. + cocoa"

Dark garnet color; an intense nose of red fruit with a hint of cocoa; the oak from aging is well integrated into the full-bodied tannins on the palate. The alcohol is also very pronounced. All of this results in a rather heavy wine, lacking much finesse on the palate.
