Cliff Creek is just down the road from Folin in Sam's Valley. Vern and Dorothy Garvin founded the Cliff Creek winery. According to Dorothy, Vern was a great lover of Port but passed away before this vintage was released, thus the name Tribute. So let's have a taste, its very dark with a nice nose of port wine, blackberry, anise, chocolate bean, a touch of vanilla. The wine is dense with immense body on the palate. Sweet throughout , wonderful with dark chocolate, Sharp Cheese and fruit.

Pretty good, though not as much of a port style as I remember. Tart dark berries and not much finish. Good with our brownies and vanilla ice cream.

Rich deep cherry nose that lasts throughout. Sweet but not overpowering. Silky smooth mouthfeel drinking well.
