2017 Luke Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine Enthusiast, March 2020

“The aromas offer notes of espresso, vanilla, spice and cherry. The palate brings cherry and raspberry flavors. Grainy, slightly astringent tannins back it up. It's a bit clenched at present and will only improve with some time in bottle. Give it a long decant if drinking in the near term”

2017 Luke Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Robert Parker Wine Advocate, May 2020

“A well-made wine that offers aromas of dusty red plum, blackberry and cassis, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a concentrated fruit core and touches of oak spices on the nose. Full-bodied, the palate is clean and correct with a well-structured mid-palate that offers firm tannins that are still tight in youth. The wine shows excellent value for the price, lingering long and delivering succulent black fruit flavors with a dusty essence on the finish. Nearly 10,000 cases produced. I’m impressed.”

2016 Quinta do Crasto Vintage Port

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, May 2019

“Vibrant, with plum, cassis and boysenberry puree flavors streaming through, laced with chocolate, violet and pastis notes. Sleek and polished through the finish, showing latent energy. Should wind up on the elegant side of the stylistic spectrum when this hits its peak. Best from 2035 through 2050. 1,833 cases made, 250 cases imported.”

2016 Quinta do Crasto Vinha Maria Teresa

Mark Squires, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, February 2019

“The 2016 Vinha Maria Teresa, a field blend from centenarian vines, was aged for 20 months in new oak (90% French, 10% American). It comes in at 14.5% alcohol. This was not tasted with the 2015 this issue, but both were in relatively close proximity. For the moment, this seems more spectacular. With wines at this level, only the future will tell us what the ultimate answer is, but this seems on track to be one of Crasto's greatest Maria Teresas, which also means it might be one of its greatest wines ever.”

2016 Quinta do Crasto Vinha Maria Teresa

Gillian Sciaretta, Wine Spectator, March 2020

“Beautifully concentrated, with lots of depth to the ripe boysenberry, violet and steeped cherry flavors. Vivid undertones of graphite, savory spice and anise gain traction along with hints of baking spice, rose water and cedar on the long, plush finish. Best from 2021 through 2035. From Portugal.”

James Suckling, James Suckling, November 2020

“Blackberry, smoke, tar and dark-berry aromas follow through to a full body with round, juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Chocolate and toasted-oak undertones. Better after 2021.”
