Garrafeira means a wine designed for cellaring. From this small 50-acre vineyard in Arraiolos in the the Alentejo, this powerful concentrated wine is a blend of Caberenet Sauvignon and Aragonês. Almost black in color., this is a hugely rich, almost impenetrable wine, with dark, tarry fruit and big solid tannins. With its dryness it is quite old fashioned, but the richness that comes from the fruit more than balances. —R.V. Roger Voss

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
