Dull hazy dark garnet color. Mature aromas and flavors of dark caramelized roasted nuts, soy, tamarind paste, and blackberry chutney with a satiny, bright, moderately sweet medium body and a warming, intriguing, medium-long finish manifesting nuances of dark caramel raisin compote, cola, rum molasses cake, and peppercorns. A satisfying, warming domestic port-style wine that hits the right, savory umami tawny notes.

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.

St. Clair Winery NV Port, New Mexico rating was calculated by to be 85 points out of 100 on 6/23/2021. Please note that MSRP may have changed since the date of our review.
