Monte Creek Ranch Ranch Hand Red Reserve 2014

British Columbia, CanadaRanch Hand Red comes off the Monte Creek Ranch in the south Thompson Valley. The mix of grapes is decidedly different than the BC norm at 59/23/10/8 of marquette/frontenac/cabernet sauvignon/merlot. The attack is fresh and lively with prominent but not overbearing acidity keeping it all fresh. It's an interesting mix of red and black fruit matching its floral, cherry/berry, brown spice flavours. Definitely original. Serve with a favourite venison dish.Tasted: 02 August 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
