Averill Creek Brut 2010
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaEstate pinot noir and pinot gris was barrel fermented and aged sur lie in French oak for one year before undergoing secondary fermentation at Kelowna's Summerhill Pyramid Winery. Ample smoked stones, smoked pear, frizzed lemon peel, shearing acidity and a swath of oxidative notes leave this disjointed at present. Watch this wine in the future, and for more high quality, traditional method bubble. This is a project that requires and rewards patience.Tasted: 28 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $42.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
