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.

Pedroncelli 2014 Four Grapes Vintage Port, Dry Creek Valley rating was calculated by to be 91 points out of 100 on 10/14/2020. Please note that MSRP may have changed since the date of our review.
