Shop Review: This Port-style wine is made from late harvest Chambourcin grapes and fortified with brandy that was distilled from estate grown Chambourcin wine. Tartan embodies cherry flavors, smokey essence and subtle vanilla notes. Tartan is aged in whiskey barrels for 3 years. 18% alcohol. Governor Cup winner.
My Review: This port was fabulous! Being the first port I've tasted I don't have a whole lot to compare to, however, the flavors and balance of this wine were great. On the nose this wine is smells of sweet, fruity berries. This wine tastes of berries and sweet candy, like Twizzlers.
This wine was not tasted with food.
