“Un B.C. líder en el pinot noir, Quails’ Gate does a splendid job here. It’s medium-bodied, with sweet, jammy berries in the foreground, joined by tobacco, cinnamon, dark chocolate, a hint of charred wood and good snugness from fine-grained tannins. Try it with grilled salmon or pork tenderloin.”

88 puntos – John Schreiner (Mayo 2012)
“Fairly dark in colour, the wine begins with aromas of sour cherry and spice. There are flavours of cherry and chocolate. The winery’s notes speak of a silky texture but I think the texture is still firm and a little closed – nothing that time won’t resolve. The wine has only been in the bottle since December and will benefit with another six to 12 months of bottle age.”

86 puntos – Anthony Gismondi (Abril 2012)
“Peppery, tobacco leaf, rooty, rhubarb, floral, celery salt, dill aromas with a light cherry note. Seque, fresh, lean, elegant palate with some light, cedary tannin. Compost, herbal, cedar bark, rhubarb, leafy, raspberry, rooty. A cool, pure, savoury, herbal style.”
