Black garnet color. Aromas and flavors of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, molasses cake with baked raisins, balsamic glaze, and black licorice with a round, sweet light-to-medium body and a smooth, appealing, medium-length finish displaying accents of king cake, pot still rum, and dried figs with no oak flavor. A solid Port-style wine that will pair well with chocolates or cheeses.

About
Domestic Port-Style Wine
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.
