WINE DESCRIPTION

Ficklin Vintage Port is a premium fortified wine produced by Ficklin Vineyards, a family-owned winery located in the Madera appellation of California. The vineyard features a unique microclimate that allows for the cultivation of high-quality Portuguese grape varieties, which are hand-harvested and carefully selected for their ripeness and flavor. The winemaking process involves traditional methods, including foot-treading and aging in oak barrels for several years. The resulting wine is a rich and complex blend of dark fruit flavors, with notes of coffee, caramel, and spice.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Ficklin Vintage Port is a blend of both traditional and modern styles, offering a robust and complex flavor profile.On the nose, aromas of ripe black cherry, fig, and coffee mingle with hints of spice and caramel. On the palate, a full-bodied and velvety texture is complemented by flavors of dark plum and spiced raisin. The finish is long and warm, with a pleasant touch of sweetness.
