Sogrape Vila Regia Reserve 2001 - $11.95
Style: R1
Portugal
Light reds can be the prefect summer weight wines, and the quality of this one belies its humble price. The nose shows lively aromas of cedar, tobacco and vanilla with just a touch of barnyard down deep. The palate is rich with juicy berry flavours, with a solid core of acidity and a suggestion of berry sweetness, giving way to soft tannins. Very good body and length. A good candidate for anything off the grill, but I'd hold out for ribs. (LCBO 613950)

My Wine of the Week is selected on the basis of "bang for the buck." I look for wines that offer good, every day value. My picks are loosely based around a $12-$15 ceiling, and must be readily available.
