When you promise to find great wine at a great price it’s always more satisfying to recommend a wine from beautiful B.C. As the quality of home grown wines improves, there’s been a notable increase in price. What’s caught my attention is that quality winemakers in our province recognize the need to ensure they don’t price themselves out of the marketplace. Evolve Cellars is a great example. This Cabernet Merlot should be on your list. I love a wine that gives you a hint of what to expect with the aroma flowing from the glass. Evolve does that with a cherries and spice on the nose. This is a delicious, smooth, flavourful wine loaded with B.C. fruit….cherries, plums and strawberries. This is a perfect match for good conversation but I can’t wait to serve it with a charcuterie on the patio. I’d also add this to my list of BBQ wines too. A lot of wine for the price. Well done Evolve Cellars.
