Tasting Notes
FineWine International
We are pleased to offer our first release of Grover Family Vintage Port. The grapes for this wine came from our old vine Carignane vineyard in Mendocino. The wine was fortified with several different port still brandies and aged three years in cask prior to bottling. Only 42 cases of this unique vintage style port were produced. Tasting notes: Nice dark ruby-purple color with a nose of subtle complexity. Aromas of exotic spices black fruits and hints of chocolate emerge with aeration. The wine is medium bodied, rather elegant in mouth-feel, round and luscious. The blackfruit and plum flavors are ripe but not overtly sweet. There is none of the raisiny character that frequently mars similar port-style wines from California. The finish is long and lingering. This is a wine of subtlety not raw power. Already delicious this port-style wine will continue to improve with additional cellaring.
