Description:
This Texas Port was made using the traditional Portuguese method. We used super ripe Cabernet Sauvignon (at 28% sugar) from the Texas High Lubbock) then as it was fermenting we added brandy to kill the yeast while the wine was still sweet. We did extensive trials with oak and learned that Hungarian Oak worked better than French or American Oak for this wine. I carry about 50 really great dry and sweet wines but this port was my best seller last month and it is fairly expensive at about $20/bottle. As a 2002 wine it is a little young but it should age well. Trois Amis means 3 Friends and refers to the three grapes that go into this blend. We believe that Rhone and Spanish grapes will eventually make the best wines in this area. This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (which we had a lot of) and Shiraz and Mourvedre which we think make it very special. I refer to it as a Rhone flavored Cab. We made it using French oak and it is more ready to drink that our other red wines but still very young. We only made a barrel of this wine and it is nearly sold out but you can rest assured we will make more next harvest.
