2000 Luis Pato Quinta do Moinho Beiras, Portugal Cesar Florido Beckenridge Vineyard (Willamette Valley AVA)Quinta do Moinho was planted in 1989 on a vineyard with slightly more clay and surrounded by a eucalyptus forest, the Moinho typically has darker fruit and a lovely herbaceous character that gives it an almost Cabernet like quality.
