Quails' Gate Dijon Clone Pinot Noir 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Dijon Clone Pinot Noir resides inside the winery’s Distinction Collection: an exclusive mix of Clones 828, 777, and 667 plantings first brought to Canada by founder Ben Stewart, plus numerous other Burgundian clones. At 15 years of age, the vines planted in sandy volcanic soils are reaching their first level of maturity. The style is focused on dense black cherry and plum, with a pinch of dried wild herbs and desert scrub. Savoury and round, with just a hint of sour cherry in the back end to heighten the acid and its appeal, this is complex and showy, and a winner. It is ready to drink now, just barely, but will thrill drinkers through 2028 and beyond under screwcap. Recommended with Asian spiced duck, venison, or a Moroccan tagine leg of a lamb.Tasted: 21 July 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $49.00 | 750ml | sold out at the winery |
