About Pedroncelli Winery
“The year was 1927. President Calvin Coolidge captured the imagination of nobody. Babe Ruth hit home run after home run powered by little more than whiskey and sausage. And John Pedroncelli, Sr. bought a vineyard and winery in Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County. Since then, two elements remain unchanged: the exceptional place the Pedroncelli family farms vineyards, and the family’s dedication to making fine wines.

Nine decades strong, we are still family owned and operated. It all adds up to tradition, heritage and a family of wines you can enjoy with confidence.”

Port-rait of Ruin

TASTING NOTES:
“Aromas of blackberry, toffee and cinnamon lead to deep flavors of ripe berry, caramel, and dark chocolate. A delicious and complex Port, well-balanced between the sugar and alcohol, with a rich and spicy finish. Cellar note: Although ready to drink now, this port will benefit from aging for the next 10 years.” (AbV 19%, pH 3.63, TA 0.555 g/100mL, RS 9.7%)

BARRELS:
5 years in neutral oak barrels.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Released in 2006 for the Nintendo DS, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin was one of the last 2D side-scrolling Castlevania games! Taking place in the midst of World War II, Dracula’s castle is back for some reason. New resident is a vampire artist named Brauner and his surrogate twin daughters. Brauner seeks to channel the souls of those who have died in the war into the castle so that he may use it to wipe out humanity. Vampire hunters Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin arrive just in time to shut things down.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
“Our Wine Lover’s Chocolate Collection takes this idea one step further, creating a way for people to experience the subtleties of wine and chocolate together without a lot of guesswork or pretension. The 54% cocoa blend of these dark chocolate drops is expertly curated to complement the rich, sweet quality of many Port wines. Our 54% dark chocolates are a perfect after-dinner treat, served along with a small glass of Port, of course!”

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Printing a normal text document in landscape so that people will look at it, then you, then it, then you, then ask, “Why isn’t it in portrait??”
