Shop Preview: This smooth Portuguese red is a blend of Castelao, Tinta Rorlz, Tinta Barroca, and Pinot Noir. The vineyards are located near Lisbon, planted in sunny gentle slopes of clay and limestone soils. The wine was aged in oak barrels. 
My Review: I am a huge fan of the famous Franzia box white, so I am a little partial to this one. It was good for the price I guess, but not something I would buy again.
