Arreio Vinho Regional Lisboa 2021 Red Wine, $7.31-$16.99, 89 points, poured a deep ruby red, what I think of colloquially as "Bear-brook blood red", and showing a broad clear meniscus and thin stained legs.
The fruity aromas were nicely nuanced with flowers, cooking herbs, cocoa, and pine.
This Touriga Nacional/Cabernet Sauvignon red wine was brightly acidic, medium-bodied, dry, lean yet sleek, and delivered a very tasty fruit-forward flavor profile.
Finished long on hints of citrus, cayenne pepper, and a well-balanced 13% alcohol.
Not a "cerebral red wine, but the Q/P/R was way above its price level, even at $16.99.
Paired perfectly with my double cheeseburger.
