Pintas Douro 2008 Reviews and Comments by Wilmwineexaminer

30 grapes in this bottle! These are still foot stomped to reduce damage to the seeds and stems-wow! Plum, violet... rich n powerful.

Heavy blackberry flavors and slight extra burning of an alcohol feel. Forward strong flavor of cedar-perhaps more than normal. No compliant just an observation that is very pleasing. Deep rich color prelude to a complex and enjoyable wine. Side notes: "Grown, Produced, Bottled by", Trinity County, CA (Northern CA), purchased at Ryan's Wine & Spirits. Very Good Syrah/only 1,500 cases made.

Heavy blackberry flavors and note slight burning of alcohol- I bet this could be higher than 14.5% as noted on the bottle. I can taste quite a bit of cedar - no complaints just seems more than normal. The color is deep and rich which give way to a great complex and delightful wine. Side notes: "Grown, Produced, Bottle by", Trinity County (north CA), Purchased at Ryan's Wines & Spirits. Very good!

Love this Vineyard from Santa Barbara, CA. Strong notes of blackberry, hint of pepper and spice. Just need to cook my steak!
