Noteworthy: About the winery: Meier's, Ohio's oldest and largest winery, has been making wine for more than 100 years. Winery Notes: Meier's Wine Cellars 44 Ruby Port: Medium body acid and fruit. Medium oak. Medium tannin. Sweet. Earth, black cherries, blueberries, nuts. Sturdy and long lasting, with intense fruit and a viscous mouth feel. AlaWine Notes: Meier's Wine Cellars 44 Ruby Port pours as a deep brownish garnet in the glass, lifting aromas of cherries and berries, in an earthy context, to the nose. Sweet cherry and berry flavors carry over to the palate along with a nutty flavor. A touch of some acidity lightens the palate, balancing the sweet flavors, leading to a long fruit and nut finish. Bottom Line: Meier's Wine Cellars 44 Ruby Port is a medium-bodied, smooth dessert wine with rich, sweet fruit and nut flavor. Can be served as a digestif or a dessert wine. An excellent value at a suggested retail price of $11.99 per 750ml, compared with similar dessert wine selling for twice as much or more per 375ml. Overall composite score: 95 points.
