Quails' Gate Stewart Family Reserve Pinot Noir 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Stewart Family Reserve is the winery's flagship red. The fruit is sourced from the slopes of Mt. Boucherie, adjacent to the winery in West Kelowna. Only the very best blocks are chosen for the Reserve blend that totals just under 14,000 bottles. A solid year, the fruit is physiologically ripe offering up a mix of spicy, red fruit including Bing cherries and raspberries cut with some fresh cranberry notes before the five spice and cloves kick in. The texture remains silky and long giving the wine a classic mouth-filling style. It’s the perfect turkey wine but rich enough to take on duck or lamb. Some of the vines are now pushing fifty years old, contributing a sense of complexity you do not experience with younger vines.Tasted: 22 March 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $51.99 | 750ml | winery direct and private wine shops |
