Woodbridge Portacinco 1995
Lodi, Central Valley, California, United StatesThe '95 Portacinco is a blend of five traditional Portuguese grape varieties planted around the winery at Woodbridge. It took three years to obtain enough budwood to graft onto rootstocks but the vineyard was completed in 1988 and is now one of the largest vineyards of these varieties in the state. Each variety is barrel-aged separately in small, French and American oak barrels for only two years to enhance the texture and emphasize fruit character. Look for spicy, nutty, rancio, blackberry, and steeped tea aromas. Rich and quite sweet with chocolate, caramel, raisin/walnut, rancio flavours and a smoky tea and tobacco on the finish. Slightly tannic with some grip. The wines are blended and bottled without fining or filtration and aged after bottling for an additional two years before release.Tasted: 03 December 2003Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| AB | $19.00 | 750ml | Fine Wine Boutiques |
