From: Okanagan Valley, British Columbia

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes: Aromas of cherry, cocoa, raspberry, wild strawberry, lavender, dried cranberry with savory notes of sage leaf and earthy, blackberry, leather tones. A medium-bodied silk feel on the palate with balanced flavors of juicy red fruit.

“A longtime leader in British Columbia, this Quails' Gate Pinot is a stylish, nicely focused wine that delivers light but true varietal fruit and balance, with a BC twist. The winery blends in 7% Gamay to pump up the color and the tannins, and the blend works well here.” –Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points

Pairing: An ideal match for late season mushroom or squash risotto, seared game meats or roasted pork with wild rice and root vegetables.
