Description

Tesouro Cellars red dessert wine is a blend of classic Portuguese varietal grapes, Touriga, Tinta Roris, Alvarelhao, Souzau, and Tinta Cao, all grown in California. This delicious wine may be enjoyed as an aperitif or dessert wine. It is best with sharp or full-flavored cheeses, nuts, coffee and/or rich desserts.

Wine Notes

Located in the Napa Valley, we are a small, very personal wine business specializing in California port-style fortified wines. We also produce a limited amount of unique red table wine. We are inspired by our love of viticulture and wine making and by the unique opportunity that Northern California offers for producing some of the finest wines in the world. Our goal is simple: to produce intriguing, outstanding wines that bring pleasure to those who drink them.

Tasting Notes

" Most California port wines are made from Zin or Cab and tend to be one-dimensional. Tesouro has taken a different route. This wine is made from the same five classic Portuguese grapes that go into the finest ports. It is amazingly complex and has just the right amount of sweetness. One would be hard pressed to distinguish between this wine and the top tier of Portuguese ports in a blind tasting. An impressive effort. [email protected]."

    Very good!!!

Rating a wine is not for experts alone. This skill can be developed by anyone with enough practice and exposure and it starts with understanding the elements in winemaking, tasting and rating. There are basically 4 areas where wines are rated. These are appearance, aroma, taste and after taste.
