I swear if you blindfolded me and gave me a taste I wouldn’t have the slightest clue what I was drinking. But, as I say, not unpleasant, just non-descript. We bought it at MudBay wines, a rather wonderful local wine store, well stocked, reasonable prices. BC wines only; a strength and a weakness.
Price: $20 at MudBay, on sale, regularly (I think) $22.
Market Liquidity: In a sea of wine temptation not our first pick.
