    Quinta das Carvalhas 2013 Carvalhas Tinta Francisca (Douro)

    Although no longer widely planted, Tinta Francisca is often found in old vineyards. It doesn't have the power of some Douro reds, but it does have the concentration and a fine balance of fruits, tannins and acidity. There is a freshness that brings a bright edge to this fruity wine. A bonus: It is ready to drink.
