The 2022 Touriga is exploding with floral and potpourri aromas supported by notes of dark cherries and plums.  The palate has a wonderful texture that starts off with juicy blackberry flavors and finishes with a nice balance of tannins that are present yet soft.  This wine is juicy and complex, with florals and fruit working together to create a unique wine that must be experienced.
