Croft Fine Ruby Port NV (750ml)

Fortified and bottled young to capture the bright, fruit-forward side of the style, this Ruby Port comes from Croft in Portugal's Douro region, where indigenous red grapes are blended and the spirit is added during fermentation to lock in sweetness and lift the alcohol. Ruby Port is the freshest, most unabashedly fruity expression of the category, aged briefly so the color stays deep and the berry character stays vivid. Pour it alongside chocolate or a wedge of blue cheese, or simply on its own after dinner.
