Montevina Terra d'Oro Zinfandel Port

The weather here in Virginia has turned cold and rainy.  This weather makes me want to be comfy-cozy at night.  I enjoy nothing more than watching TV, with the fireplace going, and to take the chill off ... a  glass of port.  My FAVORITE port is Montevina Terra d'Oro Zinfandel Port.  It is heavenly and with dark chocolate it is to die for.    

Montevina Terra d'Oro Zinfandel Port ($17) is from Amador County, California.  The nose is jammy,  raisined berry fruit (as in the Winemaker's Notes below) and caramel.  The flavor is rich and jammy with raisined berry fruit and caramel.  A creamy mouth feel, and it warms the back of your throat.  

Winemaker's Notes:  While some people say, "any port in a storm", we strongly suggest ours. Montevina Terra d'Oro Zinfandel Port displays aromas of raisined berry fruit, sugared dates, chocolate, caramel and orange peel. The wine's rich, lush, grapy flavors also evoke raisin, cocoa, coffee and toffee. This delicious, fortified wine is perfect on its own or as an accompaniment to chocolate, chocolate, chocolate...don't like chocolate? Try it with Stilton cheese and toasted walnuts.
