Occasional wine note

This is one of our favorite wine producers from Portugal's Douro Valley. It is their entry level wine, but it delivers the goods nonetheless. Delicious ripe dark fruits, dried herbs, oaky notes, all well orchestrated. Delicious! Great Douro wine at a great price!

Wine Advocate

The 2020 Meandro do Vale Meão is a blend of 50% Touriga Nacional, 35% Touriga Franca, 10% Tinta Roriz and dollops of Tinta Barroca and Alicante Bouschet for the rest, all aged in used French oak for 14 months. It comes in at 14.2% alcohol. This was in bottle about a month when seen. In the tough vintage, this doesn't seem to miss a beat. It's fresh, understated, elegant and full of great fruit. It has ripe tannins for support and some ability to age too. Most of all, it's another nice bargain in this consistent brand.
