Joue Red '23

Averill Creek's Joué Red '23 is a red blend from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island — one of BC's most distinctive wine regions, where the warm, dry summers and maritime influence produce reds of real elegance and restraint. Named for the French word meaning "to play," the Joué is Averill Creek's approachable, food-first red: a blend built for the table rather than the cellar, and priced to be opened without occasion.

The wine is light on its feet and easy to reach for — expect fresh red fruit, a hint of dried herbs, and a soft, smooth finish that makes it endlessly versatile. Serve slightly cool for best results.
