I had low expectations for this wine was very surprised. I'm not a big fan of Lisboa wines. Most are forgettable... but not this one. Dark color. The initial impression on the palate is a big Cabernet Franc.... but then it suddenly takes several twists and turns and changes into a big Pinot Noir... but the acidity is amazing! It totally restrains the wine so it isn't blowsy. I love this wine! It's not going to rock your world, but it is an outstanding example of what an excellent coastal Portuguese red can become. I would definitely buy again. Moses... you chose wisely! $10-17 on the East Coast of the USA. 89 Points.
