Quails Gate Okanagan Kelowna Pinot Noir Wine

2009 QUAILS' GATE PINOT NOIR

Winemaker's Notes:

This handcrafted, fresh fruit forward Pinot Noir is sourced entirely from our estate vineyards on the slopes of
Mt. Boucherie. A warm growing season provided an early pick date helping preserve the grapes natural acidity. Spontaneous and inoculated fermentation methods were used to capture the wines sense of place. This wine was barrel aged for 10 months in (20% new, 80% 1-3 year old) French oak barrels. This vintage may be enjoyed now with its smooth and supple tannins and will develop gracefully with age rewarding careful cellaring of 3-5 years.

Tasting Notes:

This finely crafted Pinot Noir exhibits enticing perfume aromas that pleasure both the bouquet and palate with roses, strawberries and raspberries mingled with dark plummy notes amongst the red fruits. the palate is under laid by very fine, firm, yet supple tannins with a note of savoury complexity that builds through to a persistent finish. Pair with roasted Lamb sirloin and braised shoulder, saffron pearl couscous, black olive sauce and pomegranate reduction.
