In 1969, Cockburn’s created its Special Reserve Port, bridging the gap in quality between Fine Ruby Port and Vintage Port, thus establishing an en rely new Reserve Port category. Cockburn’s Special Reserve spends extra time in oak cask (4-5 years total), giving the wine luscious red cherry flavor, cask-finished tones and a beguiling undercurrent of spice. This approachable flavor profile has made Cockburn’s the world's #1 selling Reserve Port.
