Product Overview
The non-vintage Fonseca Ruby Port is a traditional style of port that Fonseca have been shipping since the company was founded over 200 years ago. With its deep ruby color, and its fresh, vigorous, and youthful nose, it is bottled for immediate drinking. Full aromas of intense cherry and black currant lead to an equally intense and full-bodied palate with solid but well integrated tannins, and a long, rich, fruity finish. It is an excellent dessert wine, particularly with ripe, blue cheeses.
Appellation: Douro DOC
Aging: 3 years in large wooden vats

"A big, bold and rich Port that is smooth and very plush with a velvet feel. The style is ripe and rounded, a delicious medley of jammy fruits and soft tannins." -RV, 6/1/12
