$50.00 per bottle
Description:
In 2002 we had the makings of a terrific vintage Port. After crushing, the must was fermented in a small open-top fermenter which allowed for frequent, gentle, hand punchdowns. At the right sugar level we stopped fermentation with an addition of high proof brandy. Following pressing the Port was aged in neutral French oak for months and then prepared for unfiltered bottling. The results were outstanding.
Once again here was a vintage that gave us a memorable fortified dessert wine with deep, concentrated, expansive black cherry aromas, rich fruit flavors of blackberries and plums, and a velvety long-lasting finish. Although its fans will pull the cork to enjoy early, this is a wine that possesses great ageing potential. Only 196 cases were produced this vintage.
