QUINTA DO NOVAL 2006 CEDRO DO NOVAL (DRY, RED) VINHO REGIONAL DURIENSE, PORTUGAL - 750ML

"This wine's powerful richness and density balance the honeyed sweetness of fruit against savory soil character. It feels both plump and sleek, a simple pleasure to enjoy in its youth. Serve with duck braised in red wine and black olives."

CEDRO DO NOVAL, Noval's second wine, is 30% Touriga Nacional, 25% Touriga Franca, 10% Tinto Cao, and 35% Syrah (hence, the use of the Duriense rather than Douro appellation).

Wine Spectator:Very juicy, with some power behind the raspberry, red plum and berry flavors. Well-structured, with a zesty, mineral- and spice-filled finish. Drink now. 250 cases imported.
