Winemaker's Reserve A.K.A. (Also Known As Port)
|
Silver - New World International Wine Competition
Silver - San Diego International Wine Competition
Silver - West Coast Wine Competition
Bronze - Grand Harvest Awards |
Unlike most 10 year old tawny ports, ours has retained a deep burgundy hue with just a bit of caramel color when swirled. Lush chocolate, cinnamon and spice aromas drift upwards from the glass, accentuating its pronounced ‘nutty’ aroma. Extended barrel aging, which allows the fruit flavors to mellow and mature, gives way to the soft, rich flavors of fat, juicy raisins, figs and dark caramel along with just a hint of chocolate covered cherries. Thick, rich and sweet, Port is commonly savored as a dessert wine. It is ready to drink now, and unlike table wine, an open bottle of Tawny Port will last for months!
Blend: 46% Mourvedre, 27% Barbera, 7% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon,
3% Zinfandel, 3% Cabernet Franc
Appellation: South Coast
Aging: Aged for over ten years in old American oak barrels
