Producer's Notes: We produce this opulent dessert wine from Merlot grapes grown on our Geyserville Ranch.  Borrowing from the traditions of port making, we add neutral grape spirits to stop fermentation, trapping a percentage of sugar in the wine.  Once Chocolate Amore is finished aging and is ready for bottling, we infuse a tiny amount of natural chocolate extract to the final blend, creating the perfect marriage of food and wine.  This Merlot based, port-styled wine is great over vanilla ice cream or as a stand alone dessert.
