Quails Gate Okanagan Kelowna Pinot Noir Wine
2007 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 macera-
tion where it stayed in contact with its skins for about 20
days, the wine is barrel aged entirely in French oak (25%
new, 75% 1-3 year old) for 11 months. This vintage may
be enjoyed now with its smooth & supple tannins or
within 2-3 years of the vintage while the sweet ripe black
cherry and plum characters are still vibrant.

Tasting Notes:
True Pinot Noir aromatics of black cherry and spice leap
from the glass! The lively fruit is underpinned by a fine
tannic structure that unwinds with a bit of aeration. The
tiers unfold to reveal a soft silky texture with a lingering
finish. Tempt your taste buds and pair this wine with west
coast barbecue salmon or asparagus and
mushroom risotto.
Awards & Accolades:
"This is one of two Pinot Noirs from Quails’ Gate, the other being the $45 premium wine. The winery released 3,817 cases of its “regular” Pinot Noir and it certainly displays the pedigree of its big brother, showing a lovely silky texture. It begins with aromas of ripe berries. On the palate, there are flavours of cherries and strawberries with a hint of chocolate and some spice on the finish. It is a full-bodied wine for drinking while big brother ages. 90 (points)"
