Calliope Figure 8 Red 2019
British Columbia, CanadaThe palate is juicy with spicy black cherry, dark chocolate, with a fresh finish. It is very BC in style and well suited to a range of meat and chicken dishes or heartier vegetarian choices. Fresher than you might expect, 2019 is all handpicked from Osoyoos and Oliver vineyards. Post tank ferment, the juice was transferred to oak barrels to go through the malolactic fermentation and then to primarily three year old French oak barrels for nine months before blending and bottling.Tasted: 02 February 2022Tasted by: Prices:BC | $19.98 | 750ml | BCLS, winery online and select private retailers |
