2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
PORT - "Forte"
Red Mountain Estate Vineyard

"Terra Blanca’s 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Port "Forte" is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon made in the tradition of wines that originate in the Douro Valley, Portugal. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes enjoyed an extended hang time on the vines and were harvested in mid-November from our Red Mountain estate vineyard. This extended hang time concentrated the sugars and flavors resulting in a luxurious port, redolent in the fragrances of cherries, spice and raspberries that serves as the perfect after dinner aperitif. On the palate flavors of cherries and raspberries give way to darker flavors of plum, blackberries and cassis followed by a long sumptuous finish of chocolate and black fruits. Terra Blanca's 2005 Forte is the perfect accompaniment to a tray of bleu cheese or bittersweet truffles."
