*Ruby hue with aromas of spicy prunes, currants, and brighter red fruit above the rim.
Palate--Sweet front palate with a hefty foundation to carry the intense port sweetness without being cloying and the silky texture is alluring. Lovely prune whip, with voluptuous ripe dark berry fruit and more prunes. Finishes quickly but for the price makes you want more.
Pair this with fresh strawberries, or dark chocolate for a wonderful desert.
This Trader Joe's offering for $8 is al always bargain and buy more kind of wine. Our local TJ's has had a tough time keeping it in stock sop buy when you can and raise a glass!
This is as closed to being a "ruby" port as it gets but it is a Tawny. Typically should be a "tawny" or light brownish red due to the way it is made. For more information read my comments on other Tawny and Ruby and Vintage ports.
