Random tasting in the Willamette Valley with Ken: Really quite boozy on the nose; astringent, and light on the fruit. The palate is big, rich, and coating. Zingy but smooth, and it burns as it stays on my tongue for longer than a few seconds. The finish is spicy fruit, but way too much alcohol. I'm surprised I scored this as high as I did, as thinking back I just remember the alcohol overpowering whatever fruit was of interest.

Nutty oxidative character on blackberries, cassis, blueberries and earth. This is fortified with a pinot noir spirit. Very interesting. - Tasted at winery 8/17/10

I really enjoyed this port. Big, fruity, fun, high alcohol. Went so great with a creme brulee and chocolate mousse. Glad I have more!
