2002 Zinfandel port

A deep rich ruby red color that is brilliantly clear describes this Zinfandel port. The aromas are a complex mixture of black cherry, licorice and a whisper of vanilla. The taste is bold with spicy black pepper, strong dark berry and just a trace of almonds filling the mouth with a lingering finish that warms and comforts. Some recommended food pairings are pâtés, blue cheeses, chêvre, crab cakes, endive with mango and Gorgonzola, figs and chocolate, or a good cigar.
