Van Zellers & Co Porto Reserva Ruby NV (750ml)

Ruby Port sits at the youthful, fruit-forward end of the fortified spectrum, aged in a way that preserves its deep color and berry character rather than trading them for oxidative nuttiness. This Reserva bottling comes from Van Zellers & Co in Portugal's Douro Region, a blend of red Port grapes fortified during fermentation to leave the wine sweet and warming. The Reserva designation points to a step up from basic Ruby, a fuller, more concentrated expression built around dark fruit and a rich, generous finish.
