Winery Review:
Named for the 7th chucker in polo like the 19th hole in golf. Made in the traditional Porto style with an American twist. This port wine is made with 100% Merlot and is fortified with brandy, and was aged in Kentucky bourbon barrels for 2 years. Dried fig, banana and orange peel on the nose. Vanilla and nutmeg on the mouth with dark fruits.
My Review:
I am a fan of port wines, and this one was good but definitely different than the traditional port from Portugal. The Kentucky Bourbon aging process definitely adds a unique flavor to the wine.
I tried this alone without food.
