Steel Kitten
Port Style Dessert Wine
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, USA
Steel Kitten comes from Chef Duff Goldman. It’s a Port style dessert wine. Syrah grapes were late-harvested in Santa Barbara County’s Alisos Canyon. Dark ruby red, the wine sports a big cherry nose, kinda buzzy with alcohol.
The big, fruity palate shows cherry and red currant, with lots of alcohol but no big bite. It really feels nice in the mouth and goes down without a burn. The tannic structure is firm.
Goldman advises you pair with "anything gamey" - pork loin in a port reduction for instance.

Sweeter than a port normally is, but I loved it.
