Ficklin Vineyards

Old Vine Tinta Port



OV Tinta Port
"Wine of the Year, Ficklin Vineyards Tinta Port... the one California wine that has pleased my palate consistently for the 30-some years I've been a serious wine fancier."
"Spicy, dark, ripe plum fruit flavor, with the beginning of complexity ­ perfectly balanced fruit, to sweetness, to alcohol... I really don't think you can buy a more satisfying bottle of Port anywhere for less money."

- Jerry Mead, "Mead on Wine"
