It is aged in bulk for two to three years and often comes from one or more vintages. It's very red and fruity. Tawny port is aged in wood and is a lighter style. Some aged tawny ports are like a fine sherry with nutlike aromas and flavors. A vintage port is from a particular year that has special qualities.
White port has less alcohol, is often golden in color and has a nutty citrus tang.
This is a delicious drink. Laurel Ridge Finn Hill Vineyard nonvintage Oregon pinot noir - Cedar aromas, a touch of spice, lovely flavors with excellent balance of alcohol and berry fruit. Quinta Da Rancho Mercer - Rich cherry and raspberry flavors. Made of cabernet sauvignon and lemberger. Tasty, sweet with a nice farewell.
