Tasting Notes

The wine maintains a bit of youthful color, but nonetheless, exhibits the classic aromas and flavors of roasted hazelnuts, caramel and a hint of orange peel which are synonymous with tawny ports. Due to the extended barrel-aging, the brandy is now interwoven into the port’s flavor profile creating a smooth and silky-textured wine. The flavors are more delicate, less robust, and lend their focus to sweet holiday spices, rum cake and plum sauce, finishing with a touch of vanilla bean.

Winemaker Notes

Tawny port is all about the aging. Our oldest barrels are utilized for our tawny program. Slow and consistent oxidation give this wine its unique qualities. The components in our tawny port receive more than 10 years of aging prior to being bottled.
