Dark garnet color. Aromas and flavors of pickled cherry, leather and plum, cocoa, and candied Alpine herbs with a round, lively, fruity sweet medium-full body and a warming, charming, medium-length finish revealing suggestions of black cherry, leather, alpine herbs, and ricola cherry cough drop with medium tannins. A high quality domestic Port that will make any end of the evening a delight.
