ماركيز دي ماريفا ريد

The oak and chocolate notes really come through in this Portuguese red, making it perfect for a cozy evening. I paired it with a steak and it held up beautifully.

Opened this with dinner last night and the ripe fruit hits right away, smooth oak on the finish. The 750ml bottle is a solid weekend pour, and the chocolate note lingers just enough to make the last glass the best one.

The oak and chocolate notes really come through on the finish, and it’s smooth enough to sip on its own without food. For the price, this 750ml bottle overdelivers on that ripe fruit character every time.
