NV Falkner Winery Port -- (Temecula, Calif.)

[Andy Velebil]

This was looking a little thin when it was poured into the glass. Not near as dark as the Guenoc but darker than most Tawneys. The nose was more of a Zinfandel / something else that I didn't pick up on until I tasted it. First taste was "Is this port or a Zinfandel/Cabernet Savignon blended wine." It had little resemblance to port. I asked to see the bottle and sure enough, it was a blend of Zin/Cab Sav. This was the worst tasting "port" I have ever had. I would not recommend this one unless you really want a wine that is a slightly thicker blend of Zin and Cab Sav.
