Abacela Port 04 375 ml

Earl is a Spanish wine expert and his love of Port comes through in this lovely wine. Rich, smoky, buttery and sweetly intriguing, a lovely treat on a cold winter night.

An Avalon Wine Club selection for January, 2007.

From the winery:

Abacela's estate Fault Line Vineyards Cox's Rock and Cobblestone Hill are the exclusive source for our Port. Our unique Southern Oregon terroir provides ideal growing conditions for Bastardo and Tinta Roriz, two ancient Portuguese varietals traditionally grown for Port.

We co-ferment whole berries and age the resulting elixir in neutral oak casks to preserve the wine's inherent fruit character.

The aromas include dense and ripe crushed raspberries and blackberries with chocolate, caramel, and savory spice. Balanced acidity gives the wine liveliness and a vibrant texture that blends perfectly with the deep core of fruit and generous, even plump, tannins.

This wine will undoubtedly improve with cellaring for the next five to eight years if allowed. Enjoy this in the company of friends with raspberry and blackberry tarts smothered in maple cream or as its own dessert.
