Deep ruby red in the glass, the Casa Ferreirinha Papa Figos Douro Red 2013 brims with lush dark fruit and savory flavors. This red wine is perfect for serving with robust dishes that could use a hearty beverage match. Intense aromas of ripe plums, juicy strawberries, violets, and other florals abound. The palate is full-bodied and nicely balanced, with flavors of cedar, menthol, balsamic notes, and nicely integrated oak. The tannins in this wine are firm, yet velvety, and the finish is long and elegant.
