Fireside Port
Next Vintage coming in November 2012!
You have probably heard the predictions: a hard winter is going to fall. Nothing we can do about the weather, but we can do something about how we take it. Do the usual: Bank the house real good and put up some more wood!
I also suggest taking it Sitting Down. How about in front of a fire with a close friend, extra firewood on the hearth and a glass of our Fireside Port wine in hand?
Our Fireside is a unique example of a Port style of dessert wine. We produced the starting wine using Elephant Mountain grown Sangiovese grapes and then added brandy made from Yakima Valley Syrah and Merlot. The brandy was used to halt the fermentation with only a soft sweetness and also added a rich symphony of flavors.
The resulting wine has aromas of raspberry, butterscotch, smoke, and candied cherries, which is followed on the pallet with smooth ripe raspberry fruit, butterscotch caramels, smoky oak and a soft mildly sweet finish.
