A Port Wine Review: Thurston Wolfe 2007 JTW’s Port

Washington State Premium Dessert Wine
19% abv
Thurston Wolfe
Prosser, Washington, USA

This port is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Petite Sirah, and Cab Sauvignon

Deep purple body; Smoky nose

Nutty, mocha, cherry, some astringency from the high alcohol content, a musty white peppercorn on the taste.

The white peppercorn notes dance on the tongue for the aftertaste. The nutty notes and alcohol spice also linger on the palate. All this and it still has a smooth finish.

This is a sipper. A nice full bodied port. JTW’s Port would make a good dessert wine after a big meal.
