Planted a decade ago in Brian White’s White Oak Ranch and Vineyard, Touriga Nacional is a famous Portuguese variety that makes both dry reds and their timeless fortified Port wines.

While barrel tasting the 2018, Rich found a few barrels that were outstanding dry red wines and decided to separate them out for the Reserve program. This wine is for Malbec/Cabernet/Zinfandel lovers to delight in with dark red and black fruit and smoky, dried spices that tantalize the nose. Pair with any wild game, beef or any rich or heavily spiced dishes like Osso Bucco or Jerk BBQ chicken.

"This potent and concentrated wine has everything in spades from the deep, dark color, to ample oak aromas of vanilla and nutmeg to vivid black-cherry flavors and intense tannins. It needs a big, juicy meat dish or a few years in the cellar." Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
