Two Ravens, Cabernet Sauvignon, Touriga Nacional 2012 - Review

We thoroughly enjoyed this bottle of red wine, it was fruity, packed with cassis, damson, and spice flavours, full bodied, and seriously smooth.
In fact it was so very moorish, I wish we'd purchased more than just the one bottle.
Writing this blog post has got me salivating, longing for more of this super wine.

This delicious Portuguese red wine from Lisbon, uses Cabernet Sauvignon and Touriga Nacional grapes, from one of the best winemakers in Portugal, the family vineyard of José Neiva Correia.

Fermentation up to 30º C in the first 2/3, and lowering down to 20º C during the last 1/3.
