Beaufort Forté 2008
Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaKirsch, boozy blackberries, dark raspberries and stewed plums mark this fiery fortified blackberry and blackcurrant wine. This is a full-bodied blend of 2007 and 2008, aged in oak casks. Very spirited (hot!) lingering finish at 19.1 percent alcohol. Best matched up with powerful blue cheese and sugar-spiced nuts.Tasted: 12 March 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $17.50 | 500ml | winery direct |
