From the bottle:

Em tempos de apertar o cinto, o Porta 6 oferece-lhe um excelente vinho, macio, saboroso, saudável e bem feito a um preço justo. Uma proposta da Vidigal Wines para melhoria da sua qualidade de vida. Beba com moderacao.

A soft, ripe, fruity wine with just enough power to be gentle without being indifferent. Enjoy it moderately in pleasant company.

13.5% Alcohol

The 2015 Porta 6 Red from Vidigal Wines begins with very pleasant aromas of strawberry, blackberry, cranberry and mint with a hint of cinnamon. It gets even better after a couple hours of air. Taking a sip reveals a medium-bodied wine with dark berry fruit and plenty of well integrated spice. This one goes down easy and smooth but still offers up a nice bit of complexity. Slightly chewy tannins lead into the dry, long finish featuring lingering sweet fruit notes and more mint. This is exactly the type of wine that has made Trader Joe’s low price selections so legendary. Pretty darn good for just $5.99!
