- Cockburn's Vintage Port
For the most discerning port drinker, choose Vintage Port. Aged two years in cask before bottling, vintage ports require 15-30 years of bottle aging to reach optimum maturity. These special ports from only the best vintages can be laid down for many years of bottle aging, ensuring that your gift will be enjoyed for years to come. Suggested Retail: $65 - Quinta Dos Canais - Single Quinta
Port
Created from a single vineyard property, known as a quinta, Single Quinta Port is made much the same way as Vintage Port, aged in wood for two years and bottled without filtration. It provides a vintage-style wine in years when no vintage has been officially declared. Single Quinta Vintage ports are released 2-3 years after the vintage, and develop to full potential after 8-10 years in bottle. A rare port that makes a very special gift. Suggested retail: $50 - Anno LBV (Late Bottled Vintage)
Late Bottled Vintage Port (or LBV) is made entirely of wines harvested in a single year, from multiple vineyard properties. The vintage may or may not have been "declared" by the port house. While true vintage ports are aged in cask for two years, LBVs such as Cockburn's Anno are aged four to six years in cask before bottling. Great for host or hostess gifts, or to serve with a special holiday meal. Suggested retail: $20 - 10 or 20 Years Old Tawny Port
These wines are aged for many years in wooden casks, where they begin to take on a tawny color and a soft, silky character as the tannins soften. The terms 10, 20, 30 or 40 Years Old on the label are indications of the average age of the blend. Aged Tawny Port is intended to be consumed near the bottling date, which appears on the label. Tawny Ports are wonderful with creamy desserts like creme brulee or pumpkin pie. Suggested retail price: $26 / $50 - Special Reserve
Our flagship port is one of the best selling and best known ports in the world. If you want to give a wonderful port for near term enjoyment, choose Special Reserve. Suggested retail price: $16.50
