No relation to B&M, just passing this along...
It's no longer news that Portugal is producing world class wine with the ratings to match. Our friends at the Port producing Ramos-Pinto winery are also famous for their dry red wines. These wines, from the 'regular' Tinto through the staggeringly good 'Reserva,' represent some of the finest bottles of Douro red wines available today. Since 1990, Ramos-Pinto has been producing extraordinary, dry red wines from the Douro. By utilizing their two highest quality vineyards, Quinta de Ervamoira and Quinta de Bons Ares, for source fruit, these reds rival the house's legendary Tawny Ports.
These are due to arrive this week, but are limited in quantity. So, please order swiftly to secure your share!

$42 net 750ml bottle
95 points, The Wine Spectator
"This broad, rich and elegant red is filled with powerful flavors of dark plum, dried cherry and blackberry, marked by fine balance and a powerful structure. The long finish resonates with tarragon and black olive notes, layered with appealing hints of tar. Best from 2015 through 2022. 75 cases imported."
Ramos-Pinto 2012 Duas Quintas Tinto
$12 net 750ml bottle

90 points, The Wine Enthusiast
"Still young, but promising good things, this is a ripe and balanced wine. It’s a blend of grapes from two Douro vineyards (Duas Quintas), giving black fruits, a strong sense of minerality and a dark texture."
