The Julien Port from Chateau Julien in Carmel Valley, California is made from eight different grapes including Tinta Amarella, Tinta Cao, Tinta Madeira, Tinta Roriz and Souza. The port pours out a deep ruby red and is quite opaque. On the nose aromas of stewed fruit and berries with hints of warm spice. Slightly sweet in the mouth with lovely rich berry flavors and spice. Nice acidity and just a touch of alcohol heat that warms the mouth. Lingering finish that lasts. A nice ruby port meant to be drank young. $28.00 for a 750ml bottle.
