Unsworth Vineyards Ovation Solera NV
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaYou don't get many ovations in orchestra, and you certainly will find fewer in the wine world. Unsworth Ovation is a solera blend of estate maréchal foch. This is more reminiscent of a late bottled vintage port to me, with its gutsy and spirited demeanour, dense plum, fruitcake and sweet cassis fruit. Smooth and sweet, with lightly grippy tannins dragging along throughout, this finishes quite hot on its own, but I would pour this with local blue cheese and sugar spiced roasted nuts.Tasted: 19 August 2016Tasted by: Prices:BC | $19.90 | 500ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
