Quails' Gate Pinot Noir 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaQuails’ Gate was among the earliest pioneers to work with Pinot Noir, and they have been raising the bar ever since. Post ferment, this spends about 10-14 days on skins gathering additional colour and gravitas before ageing 10 months in French oak, a time well suited to delicate cool climate pinot noir. The ’22 mixes cedar, sweet and sour black cherries, black tea, brown sugar, and gentle tannins. It is a slightly more approachable style this year than in 2021. The Quails’ Gate Old Vines Restaurant has paired this wine with many dishes, including mushroom or squash risotto, seared game meats, creamy wild mushroom pork chops and grilled salmon.Tasted: 27 January 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $34.99 | 750ml | BCL, winery online and select private retailers |
