WineScores' Review

Elegant, classic, 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 (16% new) barrels for 12 months prior to blending.
It has a finer frame than its Stag's Hollow Vineyard sibling of the same vintage; raspberry and cherry aromas are layered with steamed carrot tops, tealeaf, wet clay, violets, blueberry branch and vanilla. The palate is earthier with notable umami flavours. It has a silky texture and svelteness, the finish trails fleur de sel and tealeaf.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
