Bouteille Call NV
California, United StatesBouteille Call is relatively new in these parts and in essence is a syrah-based port that boasts delicious cassis and licorice tones. The method, during the fermentation, is to add grape spirits in small increments; and one-week after crush the wine is drained off its skins. Final fortifications include additional grape spirits and Bonny Doon Framboise, Infusion of Raspberries. The fortification kills the yeast and halts the fermentation at roughly 18.5% alcohol and 7% residual sugar. Grahm suggests it is an unguent/boisson that must be slathered about or accompany the tastiest and tender chocolate covered bits one can, well, tender.
