Tasting Notes From the Website: "She’s a classic blend of three Portuguese grapes: Touriga Nacional, Castelão, and Aragonês. Together they create a bouquet bursting with blackberry, blueberry, plum, cocoa, and a touch of nutmeg. Dry, singing with dark fruit, and possibly too easy to drink, this wine is a match made in heaven for heavy stews, barbecued lamb, or burger night." (https://www.journeyanddiscovery.com/red-blend)
Tasting notes: Notes of cocoa and blackberry (pg 176), all three varieties say they are high in tannins and acid, with no sweetness (pg 92, 175, 178). It is medium ruby in color.
My review: This wine smelled good, but tasted gross. It was very acidic and tannic, but not sweet all. The combination made my throat hurt and made me cough. Even an hour later, I can still taste the tannins on my tongue and my stomach hurts. 1/10
I did not have this wine with food
