Port

Port Wine Details
Price:

Description: Furthermore don't forget dessert. This port is made from Syrah grapes that produce a smooth, wonderfully flavored Port. Like all Ports; get that chunk of chocolate-and for the men grab that cigar, you'll want to sip this one over good conversation after that wonderful meal, while the dishes wait-or if you're lucky enough the kids should be doing them for you.

Varietal Definition
Syrah:
Syrah is the eight hundred pound gorilla of Rhone grapes! In the vineyard and the winery, Syrah is typically an easy grape to work with - healthy, early ripening, resistant to mildew and rot; suitable for winemaking in a variety of styles. The wines from Syrah are tannic without being harsh. The wines will have a taste and smell of dark blue fruit like blackberries and blackcurrant, with a strong spicy side where one can find freshly ground pepper and other spices. Syrah is famous for its part in the French blends, such as Côtes du Rhone and Châteauneuf du Pape.
