Description It’s time like these that I wish I could put a glass of wine in your hand and tell you what’s going on and see if you agree … but because I can’t, I’ll ask you to grab yourself a bottle of this wine and follow along. Colchester Ridge is one of the newest wineries in the Lake Erie North Shore area. Brian Gorski has crafted a lovely red here, with notes of licorice, cassis, blackberry, vanilla, oak and coffee on the nose. The taste is just as lovely, lots of black fruit and oak, some raspberry and a café mocha finish. Plenty of zip, from the acidity, and some tannin bite, that suggests some good ageability for this wine. If I could put a glass of this wine in your hand right now I would – but then you would just crave your own bottle, so cut out the middleman (the glass) and go pick one up.
