Portuguese (Red Wines)

Portuguese Wines by Wikipedia will have to suffice when it comes to an explanation of Red wines from Portugal, as regions, sub-regions, varietal blending (obscure grapes for most Americans) and "rules" of official designation will be subservient to "laws" of diminishing-returns in this post, because I've found so few Portuguese red wines available in New Hampshire (subject to revision).
  However, I have bought seven bottles of Portuguese red wines (excludes common Port wines), some of which I've hinted at in another post.
Examples of varietals may have the average wine lover (except for Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon) scratching their heads:
Aragonez
Baga
Cabernet Sauvignon
Castelão
Syrah
Tinta Barroca
Tinta Roriz
Touriga Franca
Tourig Nacional
Trincadeira
