Forge - 2023

Bronze Medal Winner
2025 East Meets West International Wine Competition

Beautifully styled to walk the fine line between a glorious ruby and a robust tawny, our Forge Port-style provides the best of both worlds. This unique dessert wine, a blend of Tempranillo, Merlot, Tannat, and Teroldego, was aged for 21 months in Kentucky whiskey barrels, developing a rich palate with layers of blueberry jam, candied orange peel, and toasted caramel. Now in its third vintage, this wine has developed a cult following. Each bottle is a work of art, hand-dipped in golden wax, stamped with our bronze three hammers icon, and individually hand-signed and numbered. Sit back, sip, and enjoy!
