Made from Black Spanish grapes (aka Lenoir),
this fortified Port-style wine packs quite a punch for an after meal treat. The
grapes were sourced from Enoch’s Stomp Vineyard which is near Longview, Texas,
up in NE Texas country! The plum aromas
really rise to greet you on the nose. It is incredibly well-balanced with a sweetness
that is luscious and rich with intense flavor. There are raisin and spice notes
that linger on the exceptionally smooth finish of this dessert wine. A dark
chocolate dessert pairing is a must with this one! Unless you have any of these
bottles left in your cellar, it will be tough to acquire Compass Rose Cellars
wines as this winery has closed. Yet we cannot sip without praising this as one
of the better made Black Spanish wines we have had in a while. Well done and
hats off to the wine maker for this wine!
