Taster’s Notes:

“Big wine, dark purple, concentrated, big nose of sugar, burnt oak and vanilla with flavor profile of some mocha, raisins, figs and oak.”

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

“A savory composition of berry preserves, toffee and spicy oak aromatics serves as a beautiful introduction to our latest offering. This elegant wine lingers on the palate, slowly drifting to a chewy, yet supple finish.”

Winemaker Notes: “Chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, vanilla and spice fragances...silken richness on the palate,barrel aged in oak...excellent aging potential, limited bottling".

Winemaker Notes: “Full ruby-violet color. Ripe, jammy blackberry, licorice and pepper aromas with a hint of dark chocolate make this our most intensely aromatic Port yet. Full-bodied, yet graceful blackfruit, cassis and spicy-blackpepper flavors are enriched by firm but integrated tannins, and a warm but not fiery finish. The alcohol is already well-married into the structure of the wine, and the luscious finish suggests this wine will age gracefully for a decade or more. Ideal with chocolate or berry fruit desserts, as well as blue-veined cheeses.”

Winemaker Notes:

“With a rich ruby color, this full-bodied wine opens with aromas of cigar box, Bing cherries, cranberry sauce, saddle leather, and bay leaves. On the palate, we find flavors of Luxardo cherries, Campari, Valrhona chocolate, pomegranates, and apple tartlets, with robust tannins and hints of freshly turned earth and crushed rocks on the long and persistent finish.”

Rating: 93 Points (James Suckling)

Plenty of black currants and licorice aromas with blueberries and hints of tar. Full body, fine tannins and an asphalt and slate finish. Drink in 2018.
