Elephant Island 'Stellaport' Naramata BC
Readers rated this wine:
StellaPort is a combination of two words "Stella",from Stella cherries that have been growing on the Elephant Island site for decades and "Port", from the fortified dessert wine classic to Portugal. Although the NV (non-vintage) Stellaport is produced in the traditional solera system method, like sherry (meaning the current juice in being blended with a combination of previous vintages), and its intriguing bottle reads like a time capsule of local and world events.
The colour is a velvety cherry juice/brickish hue with aromas of spiced, cooked cherries and clove. On the tongue it's smooth, not too sweet, tasting of cherries jubilee, dried cherries, cedar and cocoa. Good acidity lingering fine, spiced tannins on the finish.
