Northern Lights Estate Northern Spirit Series Huckleberry 2016
British Columbia, CanadaHuckleberries are fans of wet weather, making them a favourite in BC, especially in coastal areas and from sea level to sub-alpine, ripening over a wide period based on elevation. This fruit wine is impressive in the mouth, certainly the most grape wine-like with earthy strawberry/cranberry/apple quince notes, firm acidity and tannin. Just off-dry but with acidity, it presents dry. This could be interesting with grilled meats and mushrooms. Well done.Tasted: 05 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $16.98 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine stores |
