Ruby black color. Aromas and flavors of prunes and raisins, cocoa powder, and brown sugar syrup with a glycerous, crisp, sweet full body and a warming, long finish manifesting notes of chocolate vodka raisinettes, brandy soaked cherries and plums, and plum sauce. This reads very clearly as both Chambourcin and Port; tip of the cap.

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.
