Blue Grouse Pinot Noir (British Columbia, 2003)

Category: Pinot Noir — Mike @ 10:16 am

	This is a Pinot Noir from Vancouver Island. I first tried this wine at Haro’s Restaurant in the Sidney Pier Hotel on Vancouver Island. I enjoyed it so much that I brought a bottle home to enjoy again.
	$20 CAD from British Columbia Liquor

Aromas of fruit with a slight touch of mint Nutmeg, and anise were also detected on the nose Very smooth with soft tannins. Slightly sweet off the start Very dry finish Subtle cherry flavor mixed with oak and earth A great wine with an incredible bouquet that is very different from the taste….much like a girl in your class that you do not really know outside of class; but once you do get to know her you find that she is very different from your original conceptions. That is not a bad thing…just and unexpected twist.

Yes the grapes for this wine are all grown on Vancouver Island. The vineyard is 31 acres in the Cowichan Valley where neither fertilizers or irrigation is needed. The grapes used for this wine are VitisVinifera which do well in cooler climates.

Thanks for the comment, here is the website of the winery. http://www.bluegrousevineyards.com
