Purchase Quinta Cruz "Concertina" Proprietary Red Blend Pierce Ranch San Antonio Vly 2006

NVWE NOTES: This is a ripe, well-defined and brightly fruity wine, with aromas of sweet pomegranate syrup, Santa Rosa plums, vanilla, pink peppercorns, brown bread and hints of camphor. On the palate, it is both firmer and richer in body than expected, and zestier as well: with fresh pomegranate, Grenadine, pink peppercorn and Santa Rosa plum flavors. The finish is long, but just a hint tart, and this one might be just the ticket for a fatty pork roast or Prime rib. A blend of 40% Touriga National, 38% Tinta Roriz, 12% Tinta Cao & 10% Touriga Francesa. 148 cases produced. WINEMAKER NOTES: This wine is a blend of red varietals such as one might find from the Douro River Valley of Portugal. Touriga Nacional provides the very deep berry fruit and the round richness of the body of the wine. Tinta Roriz (known as Tempranillo in Spain) provides good structure with cherry and cranberry kind of fruit characteristics. Tinta Cao is all about high notes of floral elements and bright, tart fruit components, and Touriga Francesa contributes incredible aromatic complexities of rose petals and lavender. A concertina is a small hexagonal accordion with buttons for keys. In the Douro Valley of Portugal, this instrument was used at harvest time leading the way back for the people who were carrying the heavy baskets of grapes on their backs. The old-timers say that the concertina had the gift to relieve the pain form the workers and give them motivations with its sound and melody. This wine is on our Quinta Cruz brand, a sister brand of Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard created just for featuring the varieties that originally came from Portugal and Spain. 148 cases made.
