Features
2011 Vintage Port Four Grapes, Sonoma County 500ml
Ripe red cherry, spice and licorice aromas lead to a delicious dessert wine with warm baking spices, toffee and sweet plum flavors. A complex and rich Port, well-balanced between the sugar and alcohol with a lingering finish. Cellar note: Although ready to drink now, this port will benefit from aging for the next 10 years.
Vineyard Source
The grapes for this dessert wine came from Pedroncelli’s estate vineyard in Dry Creek Valley. The four acre vineyard was established in 1995. The following Port varietals are planted with an acre each: Tinta Madeira, Tinta Cao, Touriga Nacional, and Souzao. Each varietal matures at a slightly different rate but are picked at the same time. They are harvested as a field blend and each contributes acid, color and flavor components. This is the twenty second vintage produced at Pedroncelli.
Winemaking
The ripened grapes are brought into the winery, destemmed and crushed. Yeast is added to start the fermentation; it continues for several days until the fermentation is stopped by adding neutral grape spirits. The addition of spirits (also known as fortification) ceases the fermentation and a modest amount of residual sugar is left. The young wine is then aged in seasoned American oak barrels. Aging for 3 years softens and matures the wine, adding oak notes and complexity.
Port Wine Lover's Dark Chocolate
Made with only the finest quality cocoa beans, gathered and imported from three different continents and selected for consistently superior flavor. Their chocolate has a smooth, silken texture that melts on the tongue and creates a rich, buttery mouthfeel. Quality chocolate possesses all the complexity and depth of flavor as a fine red wine or a dark roast coffee, and they are committed to instilling these qualities in each and every one of their chocolate products.
