J Portugal Ramos - Wine Enthusiast	Ramos Reserva	2018	90	Nov-2020
Review “While it is rich, this wine is also elegant. Ripe tannins are effortlessly integrated with the blackberry fruits, maturing structure and juicy aftertaste.” (Best Buy)
J Portugal Ramos - Wine Enthusiast	Vila Santa Reserva	2017	90	Aug-2020
Review “Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Alicante Bouschet gives a wine that is ripe, still with some structure. The wine’s fruitiness and fine tannins are fully integrated with the spice from wood aging.”
J Portugal Ramos - Wine Enthusiast	Quinta da Viçosa	2017	91	Apr-2020
Review “Blending Aragonez with Syrah gives a richly smooth-textured wine. The wine comes from a single quinta in the region of Estremoz. Its tannins and bountiful black fruits are ripe and full bodied.”
J Portugal Ramos - TEXSOM International Wine Awards	Vila Santa Vinho Red	2018	Silver	Mar-2020
Review
J Portugal Ramos - Wine & Spirits	Ramos Reserva	2017	88	Feb-2020
Review “Here’s a delicious $12 wine, a rustic, earthy red that’s as brisk and cool as a radish. There’s a line of salinity running through its green olive and August cherry tomato flavors, wild strawberry and darker wild blueberry depths of fruit. It gets a little tomato-saucy with air, so catch it while it’s fresh, to enjoy with roast game birds.” (Best Buy)
J Portugal Ramos - Wine Enthusiast	Vila Santa Loios Vinho White	2018	88	Dec-2019
Review “The wine is soft, fruity and spicy. Its red fruits and light tannins are imbued with a fresh feel that is immediately attractive.” (Best Buy) (Best of Year 2019)
J Portugal Ramos - Wine Enthusiast	Marquês de Borba Tinto - 2018	2018	92	Dec-2019
Review “This wine, aged for eight months in wood, has an attractive touch of spice and citrus and kiwi fruit flavors. The acidity is still vibrant, suggesting the wine needs to calm down and fill out before drinking. It will be a fine wine from 2020.” (Best of Year 2019)
J Portugal Ramos - Wine Enthusiast	Vila Santa Reserva - 2017	2017	88	Dec-2019
Review “The wood aging of this wine is still prominent, highlighting toastiness rather than fruit. The fruit has plenty of fresh citrus flavors that need to develop. It should mature well, bringing the fruit and spice together.” (Best of Year 2019)
J Portugal Ramos - Wine Enthusiast	Vila Santa Reserva	2016	91	Nov-2019
Review “This was João Portugal Ramos’s first label in 1992 while he changed the Portugal landscape as a consultant. This vintage, the blend of five lager-to-barrel grapes hangs together well with its ripe tannins and spicy black fruits. Its density and concentration come from the structure, the layers of wood aging and the power of the fruits. The wine is still young and will be better from 2020.”
J Portugal Ramos - Forbes	Vila Santa Reserva	2013		Nov-2019
Review “A blend of Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is robust and powerful with concentrated dark fruit characters mingling with dried herbs and spice. The 2013 vintage shows a promising longevity for this wine.”
