Country: Canada / Blind Trust
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend British Columbia
Winery: Laughing Stock / Okanagan Valley
The impenetrably obscure label design makes this difficult to find, but once your hands are on the bottle, it’s smooth sailing. A “second label” Bordeaux-style blend, this delicious, fruity and distinctive wine puts a wrap of tangy citrus around black cherry, coffee and licorice components. Malbec is the principal grape, with smaller amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cab Franc.
