2003 Graham Porto VintagePort Blend more |
2/5/2006 - pwarms wrote: 93 pointsExtrodinarily dark purple. Great noise of fruit, at this point noticably less sweet smelling than most ports. Excellent range of tastes, predominantly strawberry on the first sip. As expected, this is a bit hot now, but should be great after at least 5 years. |

The grapes for this blend are grown in our Odyssey Vineyard property 1,350 feet above the valley floor and the wine is heavily influenced by Cabernet Franc, which makes up 40% of the blend. The remainder of the blend is comprised of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% merlot with 1% Petite Verdot. The yield from these vines is low at 3 tons per acre. |
