Wine Notes
Located in the Napa Valley, we are a small, very personal
wine business specializing in California port-style fortified wines. We also produce a limited amount of unique red table wine. We are inspired by our love of viticulture and wine making and by the unique opportunity that Northern California offers for producing some of the finest wines in the world. Our goal is simple: to produce intriguing, outstanding wines that bring pleasure to those who drink them.
Tasting Notes
" Most California port wines are made from Zin or Cab and tend to be one-dimensional. Tesouro has taken a different route. This wine is made from the same five classic Portuguese grapes that go into the finest ports. It is amazingly complex and has just the right amount of sweetness. One would be hard pressed to distinguish between this wine and the top tier of Portuguese ports in a blind tasting.
An impressive effort.
