Quails' Gate Old Vines Foch Reserve 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis almost has the character of old school Rioja with baked black fruits combined with gobs of coconut and dill from the American oak. However, it doesn't have the freshness inherent to tempranillo, and finishes short with coarse, bitter tannins. Sure, you can find this style of wine in Rioja for $20-30 as opposed to $46.99, but it's an interesting detour from the Okanagan status quo and certainly one of the top expressions of maréchal foch you're going to find. The concentration from these 50+ year-old vines is evident.Tasted: 13 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $46.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
