Quails' Gate Pinot Noir Dijon Clone Selection 2008
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA Dijon (Burgundy) clone selection, now over a decade old, is behind this new, only available at the winery (and restaurants) release. This no trophy wine but rather the result of 20 years of searching for the holy pinot grail. Expect a spicy, celery salt, rhubarb and ripe strawberry nose with flecks of tobacco leaf, dried herbs and barnyard. The attack is dry, fresh and supple with strawberry, smoky, herbal, rhubarb, tobacco, lees, and spicy, minty, vanilla flavours. Good finesse with fresh acidity and a juicy note. Best if decanted for about 15 minutes. Drink now or over the next 2 years. Duck confit would be a perfect match.Tasted: 30 August 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $55.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
