Volcanic Hills Gamay Noir 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAnother fine example of how much this grape has matured in BC. It has a juicy factor that begs you to keeping draining your glass. The aromas are intense and reminiscent of black cherries and wild strawberries. The attack is soft and slippery, the tannins light, and it spends three to four months in French and American oak. Love the smoky, meaty, peppery, tobacco, liquorice notes that punctuate its fresh palate. Volcanic Hills Winery sits on the southeastern slope of Mt. Boucherie, a 60-million-year-old dormant volcano. Try this with grilled sausages.Tasted: 13 August 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $16.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
