Nose
When served at cellar temperature, the aromas of dark chocolate, cinnamon, raisons and dried plums emerge.
Palate
The flavors are deep blackberry, seasoned oak and spice. It is rich and smooth, with a wonderfully sweet finish: a sipping wine to savor.
Growing Conditions
Vintage: a blend of 2012 Zinfandel 75% - planted in 2010 and 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon 25% – planted in 1980.
Winemaking
Porchlight is a tribute to port-style wines. It is sweet and high in alcohol, but finding the right balance is where the magic is at. I take a beautifully fermenting wine and capture it in time with grape spirits. Then I age it in oak barrels for an extra-long time to develop robust aged flavors for our traditional Nichelini port-style wine.
Appearance
The wine, when poured into a glass has translucent amber edges that glow around a deep red colored center.
