A very versatile wine to pair with pizza, burgers, or anything else that makes your taste buds tingle. Enjoy!” To read more from Tyler Philp visit his blog at http://northof9finewine.blogspot.com/ Friday, October 21, 2011Sogevinus 2008 Veedha Douro Red (Portugal)So far I have talked many people into buying this wine by just word of mouth alone, so now it is time to tell it to the rest of the world – I drank a bottle myself to much fanfare in my mouth. I first tried this wine a week or so ago at the wines of Douro tasting, a tasting that encompassed mostly Ports but with a few interesting table wines along the way. I tried this one and loved it, especially when I heard the price was a mere $12.95 – which I soon found out was on the high end of the Portugal wine pricing on the LCBO’s General List … but I found it to be more than worth it. The nose is blackberry and raspberry with some vanilla, plum and black cherry notes also to be found throughout the evening. The nose doesn’t lie, as the palate is also filled with all that nice fruit flavour; it’s fresh and smooth with just enough tannins to keep things interesting, there’s also a lovely bit of spice on the tongue to be found on the finish. Within an hour in the glass this wine was smooth and easy drinking pulling out dark fruits, namely plum and black cherry, with hints of cocoa that make it even more enjoyable in the second hour than the first (which was tasty to begin with). Sure it ticks the high end of Portuguese wines, but I still find this to be one of the best values on the Portugal wine shelves at this moment.
