Cortes de Cima Chamine 2007

86 Points, Wine Advocate #174 (December 2007)
*Rating for Previous Vintage

"The 2006 CHAMINE is fruity and fun, a bit light and simple, but bright and enjoyable. It is well priced, has some personality and is a good effort in the vintage. Drink now-2009.

"This winery, owned by Danish-born Hans Jorgensen and his American wife (of Portuguese ancestry), Carrie, is one of Alentejo’s stalwarts. They generally make them bold and big, although there seems to be a trend to more restraint. The first release was in 1996. Their best wine is the Reserva, generally speaking. A vertical tasting of the Reservas, including the release reviewed last year (the 2003, 92 points) showed what the winery can accomplish. These library wines may be hard to find in well stored condition, even at the winery, but they are worth noting here to show what this winery can do and how well these can age. Their wines eschew the DOC Alentejo (after having had some famous dust-ups with the DOC regulations), and use instead the broader, less restrictive classification Vinho Regional Alentejano."
