Black Cherry ORT
Black Cherry Ort
The Columbia Gorge harvest for 2009 cherries was HUGE. Our little winery reaped the benefits by getting our hands on 7 tons of Black Republican cherries from our friends at Columbia View Orchard in Mosier. These cherries are small, intense, and super concentrated. And as it turns out, the wine they produce is all of those things amplified.
It's a dessert wine for sure, but not sticky sweet like many ports. It's 18.5% alcohol by volume, so it packs a punch -- it's available only in 500mL bottles that everyone agrees are just adorable. We bottled 56 cases and put the rest back downstairs where we intend to build a solera so that 20 years from now we can keep enjoying the fruits of 2009.
