Brian Carter Cellars

Opulento

92 Points, Wine Enthusiast, Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Aged, 2018

2016 Opulento (750ml) – Fortified Red Dessert Wine Back in 2007, Brian Carter partnered with the Newhouse family to plant traditional Portuguese grape varieties on Snipes Mountain in Washington’s Yakima Valley. The goal: to craft a truly exceptional fortified dessert wine. Touriga Nacional, Souzao, Tinto Cão, and Tinto Roriz form the heart of this deeply expressive blend. The 2016 Opulento pours an impenetrable garnet hue, with rich aromas of raspberry, cherry, and chocolate accented by almond and orange peel. On the palate, opulent flavors of dark berries and cocoa unfold into a sweet, silky finish with perfect balance. One of Washington’s most awarded dessert wines A luxurious pour for dark chocolate desserts, dried fruit, or your favorite indulgent moments.
