  • Once we had all 5 vintages poured into beakers we got to taste a glass of each of the vintages and take notes. Here Sasha and Jason are tasting the '07 Mouvedre, which was super sweet and had the lowest yield (so you couldn't use much of it in your blend or it wouldn't be "producable").

  • We made notes on each of the components before starting to make our blend. Then we made a blend that we thought was best. After tasting it we adjusted it slightly and tasted again. After deciding it was delicious we added a small amount of the Mouvedre to finalize the awesomeness. Sammi and I finished with the following blend: 40% Petite Sirah, 35% '07 Tinto Roriz, 20% '04 Tinto Ruiz, 5% Mouvedre

  • Once we told John our blend he sucked it up from the barrells and turned it into a bottle (well, we actually did 2 bottles of each of our blends). Then he pulled out this corking contraption and we got to cork our port!
