Matt Steeves rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Summer time is the perfect season to start enjoying Rose wines on the patio and at the dinner table. Quails' Gate has made a super crowd pleasing and affordably priced wine that is available across Canada for a very reasonable price. The colour is terrific, like watermelon candies, and the nose and palate have beautiful slightly sweet strawberries. Mouthfeel is a balance of freshly picked dark red sweet field strawberries with refreshing tartness that makes you want more...I'd suggest buying by the half case and enjoy it this summer. Will also do well around the dinner table come Thanksgiving, if for some reason you don't get around to enjoying it all before then! Summer salad with fresh strawberries and a sweet vinaigrette dressing would be a terrific pairing.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
