About the winery · Cockburn's ›
Cockburn's was founded in 1815 by Scottish brothers Robert and John Cockburn. The house launched Special Reserve in 1969, creating a Reserve Port style that bridged the gap between ruby Port and vintage Port. Cockburn's is now part of Symington Family Estates, which acquired the brand in 2010 and returned focus to quality and family ownership. The producer emphasizes Upper Douro fruit, Touriga Nacional, and aging in oak vats at the Cockburn's Lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Critic reviews
93/100Decanter
“Earthy spicy and herbal aromas on top of sweet red berry fruit. Warm and appealing, palate-coating, sweet black fruit flavours showing grip.”
83/100Wine Enthusiast
“Basic Port, slightly syrupy and sweet, with dried cherry and chocolate flavors and a plump, easygoing mouthfeel.”
