Mary Taylor’s mission is to find great yet overlooked wines from all across Europe and bring them to market in a simple, easy-to-buy package. Her name on a wine label means it has character, complexity, and quality far beyond expectations for the price. This wine from Felipe Ferreira comes from the heart of the Douro, the sweet spot of the Cima Corgo. Under the direction of the Calem family since 1872, the winery uses hands-on techniques in their steeply terraced vineyards and foot-treading in the cellar. This blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz is a bold and savory red that personifies the Douro. Inky dark aromas of tar and slate soil, blackcurrant, cherry, and wild lowbush blueberry with lavender, nutmeg and star anise lead into a full bodied palate neatly balanced between scoops of earth and rich black and blue berries with a touch of pomegranate. Tannins build slowly towards the finish, with a bloody, iron-streaked soil note that keeps the fruit company on the finish. Serve this with hearty bean stews or burgers.
