Dark black garnet color. Aromas and flavors of roasted walnuts, dark toasted brioche, raisin, and toasted cashews with a satiny, crisp, sweet full body and a tingling, odd, medium-length finish with accents of dried olives, capers, molasses, and prune juice with no oak flavor. A nutty and tangy Fortified Wine for baking.

Domestic Port-Style Wine

Serve in a Port Wine Glass
Domestic Port-Style Wines are those made in the style of Portuguese Ports wines but grown and vinified in the United States. Wines made in this style are typically fortified with brandy or distilled grape spirits which causes fermentation to stop and also increases alcohol. Flavors are typically sweetfruity, nutty, and have a stronger alcohol presence than standard table wines. The best examples are highly comparable to true Ports.
