Quails' Gate Pinot Noir is a distinctive British Columbian wine, with an enticing bouquet melding notes of ripe cherry, subtle spice, and a hint of earthiness. This elegant Pinot Noir boasts a rich, velvety smooth texture, underlined by gentle tannins. Each sip indulges the palate with layers of dark berry and plum, punctuated by hints of toasted oak and a lingering finish. It is a well-rounded wine, demonstrating meticulous craftsmanship. Ideal for “cellaring,” it continues to develop depth and complexity over time. A particularly excellent pairing with roasted duck or tenderloin.

Tasting Notes
