Casa Santos Lima Confidencial Reserva Red Lisboa 2016

Description

This wine’s tart cherry flavors feel cool and oceanic. Some green notes of peppercorn and cherry leaf hold its concentrated flavors tight, embedded in clay-like tannins. What’s confidential about this wine is the blend of more than ten varieties, grown in clay-limestone soils, and the names of ten unfamiliar varieties probably don’t matter when the wine is so fresh and bright. —J.G
