COMPASS® 2002 PORT Notes |
| Compass®, the Dreyer Family's brand known for high quality, high value wines from "all points of the compass" is pleased to release its 2002 Port. This inaugural release is full of abundant, rich and ripe fruit character. Possessing a great mouthfeel and balance, this Sierra Foothills Port is blend of true Portuguese varietals. It has a deep garnet color and a rich, silky texture. The palate is luscious, with cherry and blackberry notes. This wine is not too alcoholic nor cloyingly sweet and a true special find. |  |
