Sweet, mildy complex flavors. Notes of raisin flowing to blackberry. Brandy and dark chocolate body. Woodsy finish with noticeable but not overpowering tannicity.

First glasses were aerated but enjoyed it better after a few days (more rounded out taste).

Could do better but pleased with the taste for the price point. Solid port without a need for pairings.

Read that this Four Vines label was sold off to mass production in 2010.

Tropical, smooth, and delightfully sweet. The candy version of wine - perfect for the end of a meal or late evening.

Aroma - Dominated by blackberry and dark fruit with a hint of vanilla.

Taste - Complex with a sweet dark berry introduction, a mild-medium tannicity, and a hint of something mysterious (such as the sweetness of tobacco without the smoke). Mild taste of yeast and an overall smooth finish.

A great dinner wine to add to the collection or give as a gift - likely something most will enjoy due to the sweet tartness and lack of overpowering tannins.
