Quails' Gate Field and Flight Pinot Noir 2023

United StatesField and Flight is a series of wines Kelowna-based Quails’ Gate makes with fruit from outside the country to cope with the massive winter damage it suffered in early 2024. The pinot noir comes out of Oregon with an earthy, savoury undercurrent, which is a great start. The fruit is slightly muted, but the textures are smooth and round, and the finish is long enough to let the wine stretch its legs. Look for red fruits and medium acidity with a touch of spice. It will sell for $22-$26 in select private wine shops, likely in the USA/Oregon section.Tasted: 27 September 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
