Monte Creek Ranch Hands Up Red 2015
British Columbia, CanadaThis rustic red is a blend of vinifera and hybrid grapes, the latter well suited to the winery's fringe Thompson Valley location. Merlot, marquette, cabernet sauvignon, frontenac noir and cabernet franc are slotted together for a round, medium bodied and juicy red, one roughed up by bristled, grippy hewn tannins. Bitter blackberry, branch, early blueberry and twine finishes short and snappy. Steak and kidney pot pie could work well here.Tasted: 03 October 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $16.49 | 750ml | winery direct |
