Quails' Gate Pinot Noir
Quails' Gate Estate Winery
Canada - British Columbia - Okanagan Valley

As pioneers of Pinot Noir in the Okanagan Valley, the winemaking team continues to raise the bar with this annual release. Sourced from a number of premium vineyards and a variety of clones, the 2019 vintage saw a cool spring followed by a moderately warm summer with consistent conditions and early flavour developments resulting in an exceptional Pinot Noir with great acidity.

Tasting notes: 
Aromas of cherry, cocoa, raspberry, wild strawberry, lavender, dried cranberry with savory notes of sage leaf and earthy, blackberry, leather tones. A medium bodied silk feel on the palate with balanced flavors of juicy red fruit. Best enjoyed in Burgundy stemware to enhance aromatics.
