Averill Creek Vineyard Foch Eh! 2014
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThis carboni-macerated red is as carefree and easy as Beaujolais and should be treated as such, chilled, cracked and enjoyed al fresco, preferably alongside a ham, salmon or roast eggplant sandwich. Bright in hue (royal purple) and fruit, this easy-drinking, light bodied red reveals mulled spiced plum and cherries on the nose. Blackberry gummies, youthful plum and strawberry jelly fill the gulpable palate, unhindered by tannin, and lifted with mulling spices and green, resinous tinged acidity.Tasted: 19 May 2015Tasted by: Prices:BC | $16.12 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
