Stag's Hollow Pinot Noir, Shuttleworth Creek Vineyard, Okanagan Falls, BC
Readers rated this wine:
Elegant, joyous, silky.
Stag's Hollow is located in the Okanagan Falls sub-GI and celebrated 25 years in 2020.
This classically styled Pinot was made from estate grown Dijon 115, 667, 777, 828 and Pommard clone grapes that were grown in the estate Shuttleworth Creek Vineyard. The components (clones) were all vinified and aged in 300L French oak barrels for 12 months prior to blending. Bergamot and tea leaf, forest floor, star anise, violets, cedar and sweet red berry aromas lead to a silky palate. On the palate it is earthy with expressive joyous sweet berries, tobacco, tealeaf, wild herbs and baking spice flavours. The finish is lengthy and supple.
