Messina Hof Ebony Ports of Call and Lindeman's Gentleman's Collection Cabernet Sauvignon
Here are two strong reds that the Winos liked - Messina Hof's Ebony Ports of Call and Lindeman's Gentleman's Collection Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Messina Hof Port maintained its Good Rating; Winos have had this one before and true to form they keep buying it again and again!
The Lindeman's Cabernet Sauvignon is a new one that was a pleasant surprise for the Winos. Smooth taste with no bitterness. This one easily gets a Good Rating!
PS: The Port has an alcohol content of 16%; the Cabernet comes in at 13.9%!
