Wine Details
Price:
$30.00 per bottle
Description:
20% Tinta Cão, 20% Touriga Nacional, 20% Sousão, 20% Tinta Madeira and 20% Tannat. In 1999 when we started planting our Rockpile vineyards, I seized the opportunity to fulfill one of my lifelong wine dreams: to make a true vintage port, using the authentic Portuguese varietals. We planted four of the “Big Five” varietals that make up port, as well as taking some creative liberty in planting Tannat. We have exhausted every effort to make this wine as true to a vintage port as possible, all the way down to stomping the grapes with our feet. For you port lovers out there, I think you’ll be very impressed! The 2005 “Independence” is completely opaque. The incredible color and viscosity of this wine are apparent from the second you pour it into your glass. Rich aromas of chocolate and vanilla are complemented by the fragrance of dark fruits. Full and gluttonous in the front palate, phenomenal tannis lay just below the surface of the heady flavors of coco and truffles.
