Colchester Ridge Estate Winery Inc. (CREW)
Harrow, Ontario, Canada
13.4% abv
Appearance: light crimson body with a crystal edge; this is
going to be a lighter bodied Meritage in weight and flavor … I’ll bet
Aroma: nice berry on the nose … then not much else … a bit
of tobacco
Flavors: plum, raspberry, red current, light dry green
spice, little dusty earth
Mouthfeel: too thin on the delivery, little acidity on mid
and finish, berry bowl on the finish but light in feel, mild-medium overall in
body,
To the Point: I bought this a couple of years ago and had
one bottle and to me it was on the thin side for a Meritage and thought a
couple of years of aging might … just might help it a little … so I saved the
other bottle. I would have to say, it
didn’t help. If you like a lighter
bodied red this will work for you. If
you know what you are drinking … this is not that impressive. The berry flavor is nice and if you are
eating a burger this bottle should do the trick then.
