Flavor
Intensely rich, with sweetness and alcohol astutely balanced when it is made attentively.
Body
Fat and mouth-filling, with luscious fruit flavors.
At the table, pour it with...
Walnuts and Stilton cheese are the traditional accompaniments for port.
Curiosities
As recently as the 1950s, port was California's most popular wine, but sales already were slipping and today dessert wines account for only around 3 percent of the state's output.
