VOYEUR (90pts) - “Ignore the twee back label and concentrate on the rich, solid, dense and mature wine in the bottle. It’s a solid blend of Castelão, Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca that offers a full-bodied, dense experience. Black fruits are smooth, still showing some tannins and structure. The wine is smooth and ready to drink.”
BASTARDÔ! RED (87pts) – “A dark and rich blend of Touriga Nacional, Syrah and Aragonez, this has a full, ready-to-drink character. Black fruits, well integrated tannins and a dense, ripe character are all part of this rounded wine.” Roger Voss – European Editor
DINE WITH ME TONIGHT RED (87pts) – “As inviting as its name, this is a ripe, full-bodied black-fruited wine. For the moment, it has some hard tannins and will be better in 2016, although the rich structure makes it a big, dense wine for food even now”.
BREAD&CHEESE (86pts) - Soft and fruity, this has broad red-fruit flavors. Acidity, light tannins and a ripe, perfumed character from the blend of Syrah and Touriga Nacional make it rich and warming.

“This wine pleases right at the first sip, with its freshness and a slight tendency for white fruits, specially the green apple.”

“It was incredible to taste the flavor of clove and other spices, all very well incorporated with present but round tannins. A great wine!” http://ofertas.sonoma.com.br/voyeur-carpe-noctem-2008.html

“You can play a lot with this wine since the label is very cool. Actually, it is a good example of a top wine producer. Young, with a sense of humor and a good taste for design but with the expertise to make really good wines.” http://ofertas.sonoma.com.br/beber/dine-with-me-tonight.html
Alykhan Karim is SONOMA’s CEO and a big fan of Spanish Tempranillos, California Pinot Noirs and well spiced food.
“(...) Feijoada & Co. is really a discovery. The Portuguese were wise and created a red wine that is a perfect match for this Brazilian cuisine icon. As a coincidence, a real coincidence, the wine entered this week into the “Selo Reserva” list (...) now with a focus on the beans. With Castelão (75%), Trincadeira (14%) and Aragonez (12%) grapes, Feijoada & Co. is a mature but light wine, presenting a good acidity and a very pleasant fruity bouquet. I found it a perfect combination.”

“DINE WITH ME TONIGHT is a wine which appeals to seduction, it’s the best choice to drown the stress of a first date as to make your friends or family to forget the problems of life. Invite also to the table a strong cheese or barbecue and enjoy a great time!”
“The excellence of VOYEUR will challenge your senses in a unique way, invite your most beloved and enjoy a great time together. It goes well with red meat.” Carlos Freire Correia is winemaker and wine critic.
“FEIJOADA&CO is a wine with very specific characteristics that makes it to be the best choice to pair a dish as feijoada. This is one of the most popular dishes from Brazil that is related with its tropical weather that’s why Wine With Spirit made a young and fresh red wine with aromas of red fruits. In the mouth it reveals an amazing intense but elegant taste, followed by a surprising freshness. “ Pedro Sereno is the Wine Architect of Wine With Spirit.
“All the irreverence and universality of this concept promoted the development of a social and dynamic wine. BASTARDÔ! is red and we reward once again the quality and in this specific case we have a wine with ripe fruit notes (Aragonez and Syrah grape varieties) but also floral notes of Touriga Nacional (the queen of Portuguese grape varieties). In the mouth it’s round and it’s the best choice to celebrate special moments as the name suggests.”
