Stag's Hollow Tempranillo 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThree vineyards are involved here: the leathery earthy fruit of the estate vineyard; the brighter fresher style of Shuttleworth Creek; and the savoury dark fruit from Ramuda that gets an extra year of careful bottle ageing in the cellar at the winery. To me, the 11/4 addition of cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot crushes the tempranillo fruit, leaving it more of a simple, red blend with a bit too much oak. It’s bottled unfined and unfiltered but it’s a bit soulless. Red to drink and I suggest smoked, barbeque grilled meats or vegetables.Tasted: 17 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $25.99 | 750ml | winery direct and private wine shops |
