Wine Review: This is another very impressive version of this dessert wine from Four Vines. It is opaque and dark purple colored. It opens with an intense black cherry and boysenberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced, smooth, and rich. The flavor profile is an extracted and ripe black raspberry and boysenberry blend with a good dose of black pepper. The finish remains rich, yet shows nice elegance. This tasty dessert wine would be perfect for dark chocolate covered strawberries in from of the fireplace on Valentines Day. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: A sensual delight...Zinfandel left on the vine to maximum ripeness. Fermented slowly until 10 Brix and then added 2 year Oak Aged Brandy to stop the fermentation. Aged in small French oak barrels for 20 months. Layers of rich, velvety raspberry fruit and spice trails into a silky caramel finish. This Zinfandel Port will seduce you. Serve with chocolate, candlelight and a willing companion...
