Stag's Hollow Pinot Noir Shuttleworth Creek Vineyard 2016

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA mix of six Dijon clones from Shuttleworth Creek Vineyard is the backdrop for this showy New World pinot that overshadows the 2015. Again, the style is juicy, the fruit ripe with rich, candied black cherry and black tea notes atop a leafy undercurrent, and a dusting of spice, smoke and tannin. It seems warmer than 13.5, but if you like your pinot with some punch, this one is for you. Not super complex, but hedonistic. Best with duck confit or even Beijing duck. Drink or hold through 2020.Tasted: 17 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
