Alente Premium 2007 ($14) is a blend of Trincadeira and Aragonez, indigenous black-skinned Portuguese grapes. The wine, which is aged in American oak, has a garnet color with a nose that’s ripe in black currant and deep in vanilla lending to caramel flavors.  It’s full-bodied with a nice tannin structure with potential to age.

Enjoy it with well-seasoned dishes, strong cheeses, game and all red meat.
