Howling Bluff Forbidden Fort Noir 2015

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Forbidden Fort Noir is a better-balanced fortified effort than the Blanc, although it remains hot and spicy in the finish. It is more tawny-like in nature, pitching caramel and almonds with good sweetness. Sip by sip, your palate adjusts to the alcohol and sugar, leaving you to enjoy a mellow fortified red on a rainy day, fireside.Tasted: 27 July 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
