Port

Big, bold and grapey with good aromas and flavors of pepper and berry. Medium bodied, dark and inky in color, with intensely ripe fruit and wet earth character, medium tannins.

This rich premium, reserve port is blended from wines of superior age and quality to yield a wine of complexity. It shows a ripe, jammy, well integrated nose of raisins and black plums with youthful fruit on the palate.

Silky berry and currant flavors offset by distinct notes of dried fruit, spice and walnuts are confirmed in the aromas of this mellow, well-structured wine set in a supple, lush texture.

"Our Port is distinctively rich and fruity. Its black cherry flavors are complemented by walnut and a hint of chocolate. An excellent wine to be enjoyed with a fine cigar." Pat DeRose, Winemaker

This is a sweet, dense wine, balancing lively dried fruit flavors against intense coffee and treacle. It has great style, a powerful wine that manages to present a softer side. 91pts/WE

Fonseca Bin No. 27 was created over a century ago for family consumption, and only released commercially in 1972. It is produced primarily from wines from Fonseca's own quintas in the Cima Corgo and thus shows an exceptional quality and consistency from year to year. Blended from reserve wines selected for their intense fruit character and depth of color, Fonseca Bin No. 27 spends four years in large wood vats prior to bottling. Bin No. 27 is ready to consume when bottled. Its well-knit structure, rich, velvety full body and luscious blackcurrant and cherry flavors, also evident in the nose, carry into an intense, lingering finish. Bin No. 27 should be served at room temperature either alone or with simple, classic last courses and desserts.

This is rich on the nose, with candied fruit, fruitcake, toffee and maple syrup. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with a brilliant aftertaste of fruit and caramel. Lasts for minutes on your palate. - James Suckling Wine Spectator 92 Points

Light amber color, showing mature raisiny fruit aromas with hints of honey. The palate is rich and nutty, with a wonderful balance, a clean crisp finish and a soft lingering aftertaste. SERVING TIPS - Does not need decanting. - The wine is ready to drink when bottled, but will maintain its quality with bottle age. - Serve at room temperature 18ºc, or slightly chilled in hot weather. - Superb with cheese, nuts or dried fruit after a meal.

"Superb, Graham's 20 Years Old. In fact sheer perfection. Very sweet, full, smooth harmonious". Michael Broadbent

Graham's Fine Ruby Port is full-bodied with youthful freshness and attractive luscious fruit. Very deep-colored and intensely aromatic, this Port is bottled young so as to retain the assertiveness of the fruit, a recognizable Graham hallmark.

A lovely well-made wine with a toasty nose full of black fruits. The palate is equally generous, with a slight burnt sugar character and some spirity acidity, backed up by a good warmth of flavor and chocolate-almond notes.

Justin and Bonny Meyer began a long-term project to develop a unique port-style wine that would be based on richly flavored old-vine zinfandel grapes married with pot-still alembic brandy and blended into a continuing cuvee — a "solera" if you will - producing a tawny colored port. The blending of the young wine with the older cuvee is allowed to slowly develop in American oak barrels.

The Meyer Family Port wine has a rich aroma redolent of peppery zinfandel, sweet oak and the fine brandy used to arrest its fermentation. The resulting "marriage" leaves a dessert wine of some eight percent residual sugar with a comfortable alcohol by volume of eighteen percent. The exquisite balance of fruit, oak, sugar and alcohol is soft on the palate and long and round in the finish pairing well with a variety of fine desserts — especially chocolate!

A rich golden yellow, this distinctive port has wonderful primary aromas of pineapple and banana balanced by mature secondary aromas. In the mouth it is light and smooth with a delicate sweetness. Fresh, fruity, slightly dry...delicious!

Good floral, earthy, spicy character. Medium-to full-bodied, with sweet fruit and a medium finish. Best after 2006 - The Wine Spectator

The best-selling LBV keeps up its quality impressively. With its flavors of rich fruitcake and ripe tannins, it is soft and supple, and ready to drink without aging. But it has a touch of elegance and style that pushes it well up in quality.

This port has layered aromas of blueberry, plum, dark coffee and tar. The flavors of rich chocolate, cherries, tobacco and blueberry envelope the mouth with a rich texture, medium sweetness and finishes with fine grain tannins.
