Taylor Port Black 1.5L is a fortified wine that exudes the rich, robust flavors characteristic of the traditional Portuguese Port style, albeit it hails from the Finger Lakes region of New York State. This particular expression is crafted with an array of indigenous American grape varieties, which are meticulously blended to achieve its signature profile. The wine undergoes a controlled fermentation process that is halted by the addition of grape spirits, preserving its natural sweetness and elevating its alcohol content to create a lusciously smooth drink with an enduring finish.
On the palate, Taylor Port Black presents a tapestry of dark fruit notes where figs and blackberries intertwine with subtle hints of chocolate and caramel derived from its aging process in oak barrels. Its velvety texture and sweet disposition are balanced by just enough acidity to maintain structure and prevent it from being cloying. This port’s versatility shines through when served as a dessert accompaniment or savored on its own as an after-dinner indulgence. Its generous volume makes it well-suited for gatherings where it can be appreciated by connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts alike who seek depth and warmth in their glass.

Porto, a fortified wine originating from the Douro Valley in Portugal, is renowned for its rich flavors and diverse styles. Made primarily from base grapes such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto CĂŁo, Porto undergoes a unique fortification process where grape spirit (aguardente) is added during fermentation to halt the process and preserve natural sugars. This results in a range of sweetness levels from dry Branco to very sweet Ruby and Tawny varieties.
