Sandhill Gamay Noir (British Columbia, 2006)

Category: GamayMike @ 6:45 am
Sandhill Gamay Noir This wine is a Gamay Noir from the Okanagan Valley
$19 CAD Purchased from British Columbia Liquor
Two Trophies
  • Aromas of berries and pepper.
  • Light and fresh aroma.
  • Higher tannins and not well balanced with strong alcohol taste.
  • Would pair well with grilled steak or hearty meal.
  • Decanting is highly recommended.
  • This wine is young, cocky and a little bit arrogant… but it will grow on you if you let it. It’s like that young rookie that gets drafted into the league every year… there is some promise there, but not nearly as much as he would have you believe… maybe give it a few more years to mature for it to reach it’s full potential.

Blue Grouse Pinot Noir (British Columbia, 2003)

Category: Pinot NoirMike @ 10:16 am
Blue Grouse 2003 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
Four Trophies
  • 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.
