THE NEW RELEASE COLLECTION

CANADA – RED WINE CONT’D BRITISH COLUMBIA QUAILS’ GATE STEWART FAMILY RESERVE PINOT NOIR 2022 6 BC VQA Okanagan Valley ... ripe and dense set of aromatics in the darker fruit spectrum, black cherry, black raspberry, with a dusting of sweet oak spice, cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate is fullish and rather firm, even tannic for the variety, with serious extraction ... puckering for now, also supported by firm acids. Length and depth are good. It’s a bit of a bruiser, tough and chewy; try after 2027. Tasted October 2024.
