If you haven't tried Touriga yet you are missing out.  This Portuguese varietal is unique in a delicious way.  It has a wonderful floral component, accompanied  by a balance of fruit and earth flavors.  It is on the bolder side but remains fairly smooth with plenty of depth.  This is one of our favorite wines and one of the wines we tend to hear the most about after a tasting.
