Quails' Gate Pinot Noir Richard's Block 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRichard’s Block is a special bottling honouring Richard Stewart, who purchased the original family vineyard in Westbank back in 1956. Winemaker Nikki Callaway made 14 barrels in 2016 and she nailed the texture. It’s a blend of old vine Dijon clones that are vinified separately using native and cultivated yeasts, in stainless steel before spending 11 months in French barrels. There’s touch of Russian River hear with a savoury, smoky, spicy QG/BC flavour mixed with inviting ripe plummy, strawberry, cherry fruit floating on a dense silky palate. Rich enough for duck, mushrooms and aged soft cheeses. Well done. Real wine.Tasted: 05 April 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $54.99 | 750ml | winery direct, club members |
