Mt. Boucherie Original Vines PTG 2021

Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Similkameen's Lazy River Vineyard, this PTG blends 45% gamay with 35% pinot noir, and a surprising 20% pinot gris, from 3 blocks planted from 1993-1997. Pouring a hazy dusky crimson hue, this sultry red rolls across the palate with smoked paprika, ripe plum, perfumed purple florals, autumnal forest, and baking spices. Tannins are soft, hugging this to a shorter finish. Tasting a bit tired, which is unfortunate, but all the better to drink up now, ideally with grilled mushroom dishes.Tasted: 13 October 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
