Wine Tasting - Thistle Gate

Name: Thistle Gate
Variety:  Tartan
Region: Scottsville, VA
Country: USA
Year: N/A
Price: $32, on sale for $9.95
Winery review: This Port-style wine is made from late harvest Chambourcin grapes and fortified with brandy that was distilled from estate grown Chambourcin wine. Tartan embodies cherry flavors, smokey essence and subtle vanilla notes. Tartan is aged in whiskey barrels for 3 years. 18% alcohol.
Governor Cup winner.

My review: Has a very overpowering alcohol smell but tastes nothing like it smells. Very sweet with notes of honey and fruity flavors with a spicy edge. Smooth finish.
