Blue Grouse Quill Red 2016

British Columbia, CanadaThis is a spicy, medium bodied red, pitch-perfect for fall, with ample cracked pepper and cinnamon, forest berries, moderately smoked cedar, all centring a herbal, medicinal cherry core. Tannins are evident but well tucked into the fruit, propping it up and welcoming pairing with grilled squash, wild mushrooms or pork chops. This year's wine blends fruit from the Okanagan Valley (47 percent cabernet franc and 40 percent merlot), with Cowichan Valley marechal foch.Tasted: 01 October 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
