This Port was made from the traditional Portuguese varietals grown on the hillsides of Amador County. Renwood's founder, Robert Smerling has a deep passion for wine and cigars that made us take a traditional approach to Port. Renwood grows four classic Portuguese varieties of Touriga, Alvaraho, Tinta Cao, and Souzao, which flourish in the Sierra Foothills. The quality of our port matches that which inspired Mr. Smerling during his visit to Portugal.

The fruit was hand-harvested and went through a long fermentation at cooler temperatures in individual vineyard lots, some with an extended maceration period on the skins in the traditional French style. This resulted in a rich, silky mouthfeel and bright fruit characters. We selected a combination of new and old American oak barrels to age the wine for 10 months.

On the palate it demonstrates a silky texture that is perfectly balanced by an ultra-rich mouthfeel, a distinctive roasted peppery aroma with black cherry flavors, firm tannins, and a lingering finish.

The fruit was whole cluster pressed to remove the juice from the skins immediately. Once pressed, the must was pumped into a stainless steel tank to cold settle for about 48 hours. This allowed any sediments and solids to fall to the bottom of the tank. The clean juice was racked off the sediment, transferred to another tank, and inoculated to begin fermentation. The wine remained in stainless steel until bottling. Prior to bottling, the wine was cold filtered.

The 2002 Sierra Series Zinfandel was hand selected and harvested in mid to late October. Each vineyard lot was fermented individually at cool to moderate temperatures.

The resulting wine displays aromas of berry, cloves and cinnamon. The entry displays red fruit characters that carry through the mid-palate, finishing with a lingering vanilla and tasty oak ending.
