Quails' Gate 2005 Family Reserve Pinot Noir (Okanagan Valley)
- $40
Years ago it was a Quails’ Gate Pinot that first convinced me the grape had real potential in the Okanagan, and this exemplary bottle proves the point. Velvety and intense, superbly aromatic, it’s bursting with berries and cherries, highlighted with orange peel and citrus. The balance is impeccable, and the oak unobtrusive.

Quails' Gate 2006 Gewürztraminer (Okanagan Valley)
- $18
Many Okanagan wineries turn out respectable Gewürz, but this one has more precision, focus and complexity than the rest, with a detailed mix of citrus and apple fruits, immaculately set against bracing acids. There is some sweetness, which serves to pump up the midpalate, but the acids rule.

- Editors' Choice

Full barrel fermentation in French oak yields a delicious Chardonnay with fruit tasting of grapefruit and peaches. The buttery mouthfeel and streak of vanilla cookie match up well with the expected acidity from Okanagan grapes.

Quails' Gate 2010 Chenin Blanc (Okanagan Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
This is a distinctive, well-made wine, with a strong streak of fennel running persistently through it. It’s sharp, spicy and peppery, as you might expect from a low alcohol Chenin Blanc grown so far up north. By any standard it would be a fine seafood companion, crisp and clean.
