Croft Reserve Tawny Port NV (750ml)

Tawny Port spends its life in wood rather than glass, and that patient cask aging is what softens its color toward amber and brings out the mellow, nutty character that sets it apart from fruit-driven Ruby styles. This bottling from Croft is a non-vintage blend from the Douro Valley in Portugal, built from the traditional Port grapes and fortified to round out into the kind of warm, after-dinner pour that needs no occasion beyond a quiet evening.
