Quails' Gate Stewart Family Reserve Pinot Noir 2007
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis pinot has been a work in progress since winemaker Grant Stanley arrived. Red fruits, black cherries and spice with a one per cent drop in alcohol make this a winner to say the least. The wild ferment also adds another dimension. At the moment it's easy to like its fat, muscular edge but expect it to lean out a bit. Fine density and mouthfeel which is what pinot noir is all about. Bravo; the best yet.Tasted: 17 March 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $45.00 | 750ml | winery direct and private wine shops |
