Quails Gate Okanagan Kelowna Pinot Noir Wine
2008 QUAILS' GATE PINOT NOIR
Winemakers Notes:
This handcrafted, fresh fruit forward Pinot Noir is sourced entirely from our estate vineyards on the slopes of Mt. Boucherie. After going through extended maceration where it stayed in contact with its skins for about 20 days, the wine is barrel aged entirely in French oak (15% new, 85% 1-3 year old) for 11 months. This vintage may be enjoyed now with its smooth and supple tannins or within 2-3 years while the sweet ripe black cherry characters are still vibrant.

Tasting Notes:
This wine exhibits super bright fruit aromas of pure cherry with a gravelly mineral complexity, savoury spice and lingering fragrance. The supple and steadily balanced cherry flavour runs on layers of fine tannins, finishing long and fresh. Tempt your taste buds and pair this wine with grilled salmon with roasted beet salad or quail over pancetta and baby arugula.
