WTN: Port O'Call Brand New World Red NV..(short/boring)

by TomHill » Mon May 02, 2016 8:50 am

Cracked this one last night:
1. Port O'Call Brand New World Red Authentic American TW (Grenache/Mourv/Syrah) Grown in America; The Genuine Article, Accept No Substitutes NV: Med.dark color w/ some bricking; slight oxidative/wet army blanket some old CdP-like/earthy/dusty some cedary/pencilly/smokey/oldRed rather complex if a bit tired nose; slightly tart bit dried-out/tired rather earthy/dusty/old CdP/Rhonish/smokey slight metallic/tangy flavor w/ light smooth bit drying tannins; very long old CdP/earthy/smokey/dusty fairly cedary/pencilly/oldRed complex finish w/ light gentle bit drying tannins; pretty much lost all its fruit but still hanging in there and offers up some interesting old CdP character; more of an intellectual pleasure than a hedonistic one. $8.95 (SWC)

A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This is labeled as American TW, which implies some grapes came from out-of-state, but I think that's not correct. Steve will have to tell us the grape sources..but probably Brandlin..maybe GibsonRanch...even ToKalon??

Tom; there was Grenache from WA in the wine, and from McDowell and Mourvèdre from Pato and Evangelho, Syah from Fenaughty, can't remember what else, maybe a little Charbono, some Zin possibly. That wine sounds like it's older than I am.
I don't know just how I'm supposed to play this scene, but I ain't afraid to learn...
