Casa Cadaval 2013 Padre Pedro Reserva Red (Tejo)

Country: Portugal / Padre Pedro Reserva
Variety: Portuguese Red Tejo
Winery: Casa Cadaval /

Named after an ancestor of the present owners who became a Catholic saint, this wine comes from a vast aristocratic estate northeast of Lisbon. It’s dense and fruity, full of tannins and dark plum flavor. Spicy and perfumed, it’s drinkable now but will be better from 2018.
