“The 2015 Branco Vila Santa is the Ramos entry-level, a 50/50 blend of Rabo de Ovelha and Roupeiro, unoaked, dry and coming in at 12.5% alcohol. This doesn't have much concentration–you wouldn't expect that at the price level–but everything is else quite nice this year. It has some tension on the finish, good flavor and a lively feel. It also has respectable concentration for the price level. This offers very nice value for easy drinking this summer. It's a perfect picnic wine or porch-sipper. Needless to say, drink it young. It may have a little more persistence this year–this may be one of the best I've seen at this level–but it is still best drunk young. Wines like this do tend to drop off quickly, no matter how long they theoretically last.”
