Blue Grouse Quill Gamay Noir 2018

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe Quill line comes from contract fruit, in this case, a nearby Cowichan vineyard. After ferment in tank, this moved to neutral French oak for MLF and 10 months barrel aging, prior to a stint in tank again before bottling. This gamay is tight and green, with sour cherry, green raspberry, and pasty, lightly sticky tannins. Best with a brisk chill.Tasted: 26 September 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
