Alvaro Castro Red 2008, Doc Dão

Went out last weekend to pickup a bottle without knowing much of what to expect. Was pleasantly surprised. It's a complex and wonderful wine in every sense. It pairs well with a nice steak dinner or better yet a rack of lamb. Excellent value for a well made wine which shows true versatility at the table. Wines like these are meant to be enjoyed over a meal, as is true of virtually all wines from Portugal. I'm going back this week to pick up a few more bottles. Tasted July 2012
