Hazy coral orange color. Aromas and flavors of boozy, toasted caramel, grape jelly on toasted white bread, and vanilla bean sweetness with a glycerous, bright, fruity sweet medium body and a peppery, interesting, snappy finish revealing notes of grape jelly, caramel, toasted bread, and vanilla with well-integrated tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. Like drinking grape jelly on toasted white bread; a bit unusual but also kind of sneaky tasty.

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.
