Tasting Notes: I have yet to find another 
BC rosé that delivers this much value with no element out-of-place as the Quails' Gate blush. A blend of 50% Gamay, 40% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Gris with characters of each variety on offer; candied fruit'n'spices from the Gamay, earthy red fruit from the Pinot Noir and fleshy, yet, mouth-watering texture from both the Pinot Gris and Noir. Finish is a tad short but forgivable at this price-point. Drink now-2020.
