A highlight in Wine Spectator's Insider Weekly, the Ciconia Red Blend 2022 from Terra Wines is the highest rated, and most impressive bottle we've found this summer under $10! Not surprising, as the epicenter of value wines is Portugal, with more "Best Buy" distinctions than France, Spain, South America and even the United States. For the price, these wines rarely disappoint. Such is the case for the Ciconia Red Blend, a former Best Buy and medalist at the International Wine Challenge. It's a traditional blend of Touriga Nacional, Syrah, and Aragonez that has classic richness. Straightforward and a great pairing for BBQ, the juicy red fruit flavors and mouth- watering acidity lead to a crazy long finish for an $10 wine. Don't miss it!
"Melted licorice, mountain herb and sweet smoke notes are layered with flavors of damson plum preserves, espresso and wild cherry in this medium- to full-bodied red, with lively plum skin acidity and lightly chewy, fine-grained tannins. Touriga Nacional, Syrah and Aragonez. Drink now through 2029." The Wine Spectator, 91 Points
