San Diego Wine-Weekly Wine Tastings at Harvest Ranch Market in El Cajon

Featured Wine of the Week

Azamor 2005 Petit Verdot, Alentejano, Portugal

The Azamor estate is located in Alentejo, the area known as the “breadbasket” of Portugal. As one of the most promising sites for New World wines in Europe, Azamor and Alentejo blend tradition with the evolving global wine culture. Usually difficult to cultivate as a single varietal wine, Petit Verdot from this region of Portugal creates a masterfully crafted wine of intense color, rich palate and bouquet, and full bodied tannins and finish. A treasure of a wine, Azamor 2005 Petit Verdot is an extremely boutique production that will not be visiting us for long… $29.99
