Silk & Spice Portugal Red Blend 2018

Wine Enthusiast

Our Score
(4/2020) This is a magnificent application of yummy, crowd-pleasing, new world winemaking techniques applied to famously affordable Portuguese grapes. A blend of Touriga Nacional, Baga, Alicante Bouschet and Syrah, the 2018 Silk & Spice is soft, approachable and dripping with dark fruit. Juicy black raspberry and ripe boysenberry overtones are heavily marked by vanilla and milk chocolate. The modern jammy fruit profile is reminiscent of wines made by the Wagner family, Austin Hope or even Dave Phinney.

(7/26/2019) "Wild violets and cassis lead to a palate that has a fresh, lithe and juicy feel with bright, blueberry and plum flavors at the core. Drink now."

Dead Canyon Ranch Horse Heaven Hills Red Wine Blend 2017
Like the Dead Canyon Cabernet that we recently featured, this red blend from the Mercer family was originally intended to be sold for close to $20 at a major national chain. With a mouthfeel and flavor profile that far exceed the expectations of our much lower price, it is another HUGE winner!

Our Score
(9/2020) The Dead Canyon Ranch Red is a blend of 50% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 8% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Mourvedre, all from the Mercer family's estate vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills. Offering sophisticated flavors of black cherry, black raspberry, vanilla, toast, smoke, bacon, and olive, this medium bodied Washington State red offers a warming brightness that make it perfect for just about any occasion. An EXTREMELY smart buy.

Wine Spectator
(8/31/2020) "This red is sleek and solid, in the modern style. Bright cherry, berry and currant flavors mingle with licorice, black tea and mineral notes, giving way to a floral and minerally finish. The firm tannins are well-integrated and juicy acidity keeps this lively. Mourvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Drink now through 2029. 7,400 cases made, 2,200 cases imported."

Finca El Origen "Estate Blend" Uco Valley 2017
This rich flavored easy-drinker is typically $15+ at other retailers!
Winemaker's Notes
"This blend has remarkable color intensity. Very concentrated and fragrant, with outstanding notes of pepper and spices reminiscent of Cabernet Sauvignon, and fruits like blackberries, cherries and plums characteristic of Malbec. Licorice and vanilla are the main descriptors. A round, persistent blend of silky tannins."

(6/2021) Here's a super delicious Savoie red from mountainous eastern France. Blending Gamay with Mondeuse, Philippe Viallet crafted this perfect little summertime red with very little intervention. Packed with crunchy red fruit, taut earth and light red flowers, and only 12.5%, this is a wine to put a little chill on during a heat wave. Authentic, lively and fresh!

(4/2020) "This wine's tart cherry flavors feel cool and oceanic. Some green notes of peppercorn and cherry leaf hold its concentrated flavors tight, embedded in clay-like tannins. What's confidential about this wine is the blend of more than ten varieties, grown in clay-limestone soils, and the names of ten unfamiliar varieties probably don't matter when the wine is so fresh and bright."

A.A. Badenhorst "The Curator" Swartland Red Blend 2019
When we first sampled this wine, after leaving it to aerate in our glass, we were SURE we'd been advanced in our flight to a good quality Crozes-Hermitage at nearly three times this price. Nope, this is just that good - and should be your go-to house red at this sizzling price!

(11/2020) What happens when Adi Badenhorst, one of South Africa's top winemakers decides to make a value oriented wine? This! Sourced from old vines in the Swartland region, this blend of Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvedre is aged entirely in concrete tanks and it drinks well above its humble price. Dark berry, plum, smoked meat, leather and an array of spices lead off the complex aromas. The palate is a mix of red and black fruits, licorice, leather and spice. There is an underlying earthiness that adds complexity. Finishing with light tannins, this will be an excellent pairing with smoked meat, grilled short ribs or a wild mushroom pasta. (South Africa)

Sand Creek Peninsula de Setubal Red Blend 2018
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $8.99!

Our Score
(7/2020) Here's a screaming value in the red blend segment, hailing from an obscure region in southern Portugal. This bottling, from an undisclosed blend of red grapes, is all about soft creamy texture and ripe generous fruit. We liken it to a yummy Shiraz freshened with a dash of Barbera d'Alba. It positively gushes with ripe boysenberry, raspberry, vanilla, cassis, gingersnap and rosemary. The aromas are like a spicy blackberry cobbler leaping from the glass. The tannins are light and lively, and this lush red blend finishes nice and clean.

(11/1/2019) "This wine shows a lot of purity, balance and quality. A ripe, jammy nose is full of blackberry and cassis, while this blend of Monastrell, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon is big on the palate but jolted by wiry acidity. Flavors of spicy black fruits offer a touch of chocolate prior to a mild finish. This red from southeast Spain shoots and scores."
