This well-established winery and brand is a joint venture between Bruno Prats of Bordeaux and the Symington Family (Graham's, Dow's, Cockburn's, etc...) of Portugal's Douro Valley. I can't say enough about all of the wines made under this brand, from the flagship Chryseia ($60) to the brilliant Post Scriptum ($27) and this lovely, very affordable Prazo de Roriz, which punches well above its weight for an under-$20 red. It has bold, fresh red fruit and dried flower notes, and the rocky Douro landscape lends it great tension and structure. Blended from traditional Douro grapes, it's a wine that delivers plenty of class as well as a genuine sense of place. Highly recommended. (91 Points)
