User Reviews for Sandeman Port Blend Porto Ruby
Add your reviewHaving tried another portugal port before, I can say I was a bit excited to try a different version. Colour was darker than ruby, almost garnet but colour means as much to me as a violin bow to a guitarist, just one of those noticeables like when I spell a word wrong. Scent was mostly light, absent, mostly alcohol-y while the taste was woody with a dash of dry fruit. Strong enough to let you know its presence, it's just not my cup of tea (or wine in this case). If you like dry, woody, sweet fruit, then this may be your thing.

There are clean aromas of red fruits, plums and strawberries. It is full of rich flavors yet very well balanced. Matches perfectly with creamy cheeses and chocolate desserts.

Winemaker's Notes:
Wine Advocate #150 (Dec 2003) The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon is an amazing tour de force. Quality like this was rare, if not impossible to obtain in 2000. From bottle, the wine is performing even better than it did from cask. The color is an opaque black/ruby/purple, and the amazing aromatic concoction includes notes of melted licorice, minerals, smoky toast, and blackberry as well as cassis liqueur. Full-bodied, thick, and juicy, it is a voluptuous effort to drink now and over the next 15-16 years. It is a brilliant achievement, surpassed by none, and equaled only by a few other northern California 2000s.
