Ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

Sweet nose and medium in body with high acidity.

Sweet on the palate with a nice mouth feel.

Short finish with Tangy cranberries and honey.

This is not my It is never my favorite port style, but it's very drinkable as a dessert wine.

I enjoyed the nose more than the palate.

Guimaraens Vintage Port Blend

I’m not a pro on Port so I really don’t know how to rate this. My mom was from England and when I tasted a Port with her many years ago I didn’t like it. However, now that I have a little experience with wine, tonight my brother brought this wine over and I feel like it’s sweet on the palate but the ABV is so high that I just can’t enjoy it. 🤷‍♀️ definitely a sipping wine and would consider this more of a dessert wine. — 3 years ago

Second Flight Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

1st wine of the new year and had to open something fun. Of course, enjoyed with its classic pairing of chicken wings 😉

1.5 hour decant(minimal fine/cloudy sediment). A stunning dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: brambly red berries, herbaceous, wet forest floor, graphite, floral. Taste: silky, soft, juicy, layered beautiful mouthfeel wine with red plum, dark chocolate, dried herbs, touch of spice and a cedar espresso captivating long finish. YUM!

1/24 High marks. Wonderful earthy notes. In the sweet side. it is better oxidizing in the bottle so some of the sugarless subsides. Plenty of caramel, toffee, ripe fruit. Outside of the sweetness which can be cloying a solid 90. — 5 months ago

2018 vintage. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Sediment new sludgy vs old chunky. Massive, brawny, pointing fingers and looking to pick a fight that you won't win. Maybe you can best it in five decades. Maybe. 12.17.23. — 5 months ago
