This list is in no particular order. They are all yummy I couldn’t possibly choose my favorite. Try them all on your next trip to the Temecula Wineries.

Mount Palomar Limited Reserve Port

Made from Zinfandel and Petite Sirah grapes from our estate vineyards, the Port is fermented like a red wine, then fortified with high proof brandy resulting in an exceptional wine with diversity and finesse. Dark in color with classic port aromas of cooked red fruits, figs, caramel and brown sugar. Our Limited Reserve Port is spicy with some oak accent and a smooth, long finish.

Mount Palomar Solera Cream Sherry

Since 1978 Mount Palomar has produced handcrafted sherry wines in our outdoor aging solera.  This is a forgotten winemaking method in California that harkens back to an earlier era.  Using the classic Palomino variety and patient aging of at least three years under the sun creates rich hazelnut and caramel flavors and a long smooth finish. Many people enjoy this Sherry as a simple aperitif or with shortbread cookies or roasted almonds, but it is also a good match for Baklava and similar desserts.

Ponte Zinfandel Port
Late night relaxation requires a little something extra. Uncork a bottle of our Ponte Zinfandel Port. This delicious Port is the perfect ending to a good meal and pleasant evening.

Ponte NV Sherry

The Ponte Sherry is the perfect aperitif before sitting down to a good meal and a pleasant evening. This luscious wine is excellent served at room temperature or over ice and makes a great match to traditional hors d’oeuvres.

Wilson Creek Decadencia Chocolate Dessert Wine

  Indulge yourself with a Premium, Old Vine Dessert wine that will surprise you by its flavor, yet relax you with its smoothness. We took an astonishing 100 year old vine Zinfandel, made it into a dynamic Port, and then added a touch of Essence of Chocolate to make it even more delectable

Wilson Creek Angelica Cream Sherry

Made from 100 year old vines. Angelica is considered the first wine made in California. It was used in ceremonies by the Padres in the California missions. Flavors of caramel and hazelnut.

Wilson Creek Almond Champagne ( I know not “officially” a dessert wine)

This white sparkling wine is naturally fermented, with just a hint of pure almond added so it’s guaranteed to dazzle your guests. A must-have champagne to make any occasion extra special. Great with desserts, cuddling, hot tubs, picnics, fireplaces, brunches, and parties.

South Coast Winery Black Jack Port

This blend reflects opulent ripe berry fruit and nutty aromas, along with a warm silky finish; character that only these styles of wine possess. Cheers! And here’s to Jack! Blended to emulate a late bottled vintage port, the Black Jack Port has rich fruit character and dense extracts that give wonderful mouth feel and flavors. Subtle nuances of chocolate and berry meld with delicate oak aromas to give the sensualand decadent experience that Jack would expect.

Leonesse Cinsaut Dessert Wine, Tucalota Vineyard

Cinsaut Dessert Wine is crafted in a traditional Port style, offering layers of ripe plum, black cherry and blackberry accented by hints of cinnamon and creamy vanilla. Rich and elegant flavors of blackberry and black cherry are influenced by just a touch of dark chocolate. Aged in small French oak barrels for thirty-four months, this wine is soft and decadent throughout the palate with a silky lingering finish

Maurice Carrie Sweet Christa’s

A Late Harvest Chardonnay and boasts an apricot, banana blend with tropical fruit characteristics. It is a superb dessert wine or aperitif.
