Succulent, velvety, complete.
Recently released, the 171 cases of Quails' Gate's premium Founders' Series Syrah was hand harvested and aged 17 months in large format oak. Made from clone 877, it was grown in silty loam soils.
Aromas are purple berries and plums, vanilla, white pepper, violets, coffee and dark chocolate. It has excellent structure, is robust yet elegant, with flavours to echo the nose. The tannins are chalky and it has a long bright sweet and spicy finish. Succulent and smooth, harmonious and complex.

Charming, bright, juicyThis darling organic Dolcetto has ethereal aromas of strawberries and star anise, high-toned red berries and rose petals, tobacco, vanilla and concord grapes. The palate is more restrained but juicy, savoury herbs, cocoa and cigar underscore tangy red fruit flavours. Lovely levity here, and brightness. Truly charming.

Charming, juicy, lovely.
Made entirely from Gamay grapes that were whole cluster fermented in small open-top tanks concrete tanks with twice daily punch downs.
Likely the best Okanagan Gamay I've had recently, this charming version suggests aromas of spiced cherries, rainforest floor, vanilla, high-toned red berries, pipe tobacco, purple flowers and a hint of hazelnut. A mild spritz hits the tongue and it has juicy fruit and oodles of purity. Red berry, cocoa and sweet spices flavours are woven with savoury undertones. Lovely.
Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb
