I wanted to drink something fruity and light so I selected this Portugal. What was my surprise it looked liked pinot, smelled like pinot and tasted like pinot noir. It also did not feel light as the alcohol would suggest. Looking back at my notes I am suspecting the bottle was mislabeled with this Pinot Noir from the same vineyards and vintage;-)
