Port has been crafted in Portugal for centuries. Our "AKA Port" may not have such an illusttious history, but it shares many of the Old World characteristics: a color like liquid rubies and aromas of sweet cherry, cassis and blackberry jam. It's silky, smooth and luxurious - a touch of fresh fruity sweetness and lingering notes of dried cranberry and cherry with touches of butterscotch, nutmeg and toasted almonds.
