The 2010 Reguengos is a 40/40 blend of Trincadeira and Aragonez, with 20% Castelao. For the extra buck, this is an obvious step up on its sibling reviewed this issue, the Terras d’el Rei, showing better structure, a more serious demeanor and a livelier feel. With good acidity and a little tannic bite, it seems like real wine, with some grip and a little intensity on the finish, even if not terribly concentrated. It will probably shed its tannins quickly and thin fairly fast with time, but in this price range that’s not much of a criticism. It should be quite charming right now and may exceed expectations given the price. The younger you drink it, the happier you’ll be. Drink now-2013. Importer: Tri-Vin Imports, Mt. Vernon, NY; tel.

The 2007 TINTO REGUENGOS is a blend of Trincadeira, Aragonez and Castelao. This high production wine (100,000 cases) comes in an attractive price range. The key caveat here will be: drink it as young and as fresh as possible. It will steadily become less interesting as time goes on. Although slightly more money than its sibling reviewed this issue, it is plainly a step up, providing better structure, more depth, more flesh and a more appealing texture, while retaining its sunny demeanor and intensity of flavor. It is quite delicious. There are light tannins on the finish. Drink now-2011. CARMIM is a co-op in the Reguengos sub-region of Alentejo, the full name being Cooperativa Agricola de Reguengos de Monsaraz.Importer: Tri-Vin Imports, Mt. Vernon, N.Y.; tel: (914) 664-3155
