High
school – I remember the cool song from Scandal with Patty Smyth, The Warrior.
Still love the song (the video is so dated it’s either funny or creepy
depending on your perspective).
Anyhow
what is a warrior? Simply put, someone who fights for a cause and in the case
of the song, it’s for love, hence shooting at the walls of heartache. I’d
rather fight for wine. Port to be specific. And Warre’s Warrior Port is the reward for any battle. This widely
available Port offers rich, but not overactive, fruits of blackberry, candied
cherry, mulberry, and boysenberry tempered with an earthiness and sweet cedar. So
it’s not “sweet” fruit, but mildly sweet fruit back-ended by a strong acidity,
making this a much better Port for foods. A terrific value this is ready to
drink now and ready to be drunk often. So whether you’re having a bad day, a
great day or just one of those days,
fight for your right to a terrific wine at a terrific price.
