Distinct, muscular, youthful.
Only fourteen barrels of this Anniversary SeriesPinot Noir were made; it's named for Richard Stewart, who purchased the family vineyard in 1956.
It leads with muscular aromas; black cherry, dark cocoa, toasted spice and earth alongside plummy tones. It has impressive power in the mouth as well; fuller bodied than other Quails' Gate Pinots it is smoky and masculine with firm tannins, plenty of spice and still tightly wound. Buy three and open them slowly over the next decade.
