Orison, Rowan 2014, Vinho Regional Alentejano, Portugal

Tasting Note: Wines from Alentejano are no joke and represent some of the best values for those who enjoy deep, intense, brooding wines with focus for which this one is a good example.

Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of kirsch, black plum, cinnamon and clove baking spice, blackberry, raspberry puree and blossom.

On the palate the dry, full-bodied red blend delivers medium-plus-intensity flavors suggested on the nose with intense concentration, medium acidity, and ripe, slightly-velvety tannin.

The wine is smooth in texture with midpalate complexity and depth of flavor.

A red blend with substance and manscaped hair on its chest.

Bottle Note: The world is yours.
