BLEND INFORMATION: In the great tradition of Portugal, Stone Hill has produced vintage-style Port throughout its history. The finest Norton grapes from a single vintage are blended and oak aged in both small American and French oak barrels for one year, then bottle-aged to produce a rich, dark dessert wine. 680 cases produced.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Harvested early-October 2005; Alcohol - 18.3%; Residual Sugar - 8.5%

TASTING INFORMATION: A dense, rich Port with stunningly powerful blackberry and cassis flavors. Enjoy it now or let it age in the bottle for a few years. Great served with nuts and flavorful cheeses such as Stilton after dinner or by the fireside. Highly revered, this award-winning Port is available in very limited quantities. Suggested retail price: $19.99 (500 ml)
