Drinking: Alto Vineyards Heartland Port
American Sweet Fortified Wine
18% by vol.
One of the Heartland series from Alto Vineyards and Winery. We love all of the Heartland wines and have bought at least two bottles of each by now. The wine is deep red, almost a little brown in color. The nose is spicy, oaky, with a bit of cloves and an orange bitter smell, too. There is a sweetness to its scent. Starts off very heavy, sending a bit of heat on the tongue and down the throat. Notes of chocolate and vanilla follow with a hint of chocolate covered cherry. Somewhat acidic as it hits the back of the tongue, making your mouth water. Adding dark chocolate to the tasting of this wine brings out both the sweet and the tart tastes in this. Forget the desert, it's all in the wine!
