Sandeman Founder's Reserve Ruby Porto NV
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalClassic Ruby Port, you open, pour, and sip during a cold, snowy, or rainy BC afternoon. It is a blend of various Port grape varieties, including touriga franca, tinta roriz, tinta amarela, tinta barroca, and tinto cão, that spends five years mellowing in old casks before being bottled ready to drink. The nose and palate melt together, pitching cherry jam, candied plums, raisins, caramel, and five spice. Simple but effective. Try this with brownies, you won’t regret it.Tasted: 21 December 2022Tasted by: Prices:CDN | $23.00 | 750ml | select private retailers; monopolies |
