Fonseca Adega Jose De Sousa 2020 Artisanal Reserva Red Wine

 


Fonseca Adega Jose De Sousa 2020 Artisanal Reserva Red Wine, $11.99-$18.99, 88 points, poured a deep ruby red with pink highlights, a broad clear wine ring, and modest legs.
Aromas of coffee, cinnamon, red cherry, rose pedal, and loam were quite good.
This Portuguese red wine (32% Aragonez, 28% Trincaderia, 25% Syrah, and 15% Alicante Bouschet) was dry and full-bodied, smooth as a baby's bottom (soft tannins), modestly acidic, and showed good flavors of loam, warm spices, cherry fruit, and sage notes.
Finished long on a spice infused earthy character with a well-balanced 14% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my spinach/ricotta cheese stuffed shells.
